Alternative reconstructions

*kȫń- (per Khabtagaeva 2019)

Etymology

Khabtagaeva compares Proto-Mongolic *köge (“soot, hindrance”) and Ket куʼ (kuˀ, “coal, soot”). According to her, Yeniseian forms may be Turkic loanwords, or the Turkic word may be of Yeniseian origin. She also reconstructs an earlier *kö-, whence she derives *kȫ-z (“burning embers”) and *kö-mür (“coal”).^[1]

Verb

*köń-

(intransitive) to burn
Synonym: *yan-

Derived terms

*kömür (“coal”) (?)
