Meaning: person, man
Russian meaning: человек
Evenki: beje

Negidal: beje
Nanai: beje 'person'

Comments: Homonymic forms in other languages denoting "body" should be probably regarded as mongolisms, but this is hardly plausible for all the forms meaning "man" (since that meaning is absent in Mong.), despite Doerfer MT 20, Rozycki 29. See ТМС 1, 122-123.
