Proto-Yenisseian: *kas- (~g-)
Meaning: to take
Ket: kɔ:śi4 (Kur.), Bak., Sur. kɔ:śǝ4 // kɔśǝ4, South. kɔś4 [but Werner 1, 413: kaś-]
Yug: kasɛsaŋ6 "in order to take"
Pumpokol: kasna "take" (Срсл) [Yug?]
Comments: The Pump. form (Срсл) is most probably Yug. In ССЕ 234-235 I have explained the irregular correspondence between Ket and Yug by a contamination of *kas- and *qōs- q.v. Werner 1, 413, however, corrects the Ket forms like kɔ̄:si to qɔ:śi and adds distinct Ket forms like kaśaś 'nehmen (kaufen)', thus clarifying the situation and allowing to avoid a contamination hypothesis. See *qōs-.
