Alternative reconstructions

  • *dɨńe (per Starostin 1994-2005)
  • *dït (for pre-Proto-Yeniseian), *dïn, *dïñ (for Proto-Yeniseian, per Fuente 2010)[1]
  • *dɯnʌ, *dɯ̄ˑn (per Vajda-Werner 2022)
  • *Dɯn (per Cologne group 2024. Pattern: ?-n.2)

Etymology

Kott tôteäš and Assan toteš (“Siberian fir”) instead stem from Proto-Common Turkic *tı̈̄t-ïgač (“larch tree”), and are unrelated to the forms below.[2]

Fuente (2010) argues, albeit tentatively, for an early Turkic loan into Yeniseian, from the etymon given in the previous paragraph, giving a sound shift paradigm of Proto-Turkic *tı̈̄t > Early Proto-Yeniseian *dɯt > *dïn-kid > Proto-Yeniseian *dïn, via reanalysis.

Noun

*ǰijn (plural *ǰijn-Vŋ)

  1. (botany) fir tree, Abies sibirica
