байбуль

Ket

Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Ketic *bájbul (“kidney”), with parallels seein distantly related Kott, perhaps derived from Proto-Yeniseian **bajb (“kidney?”) + Proto-Yeniseian *al (“half, one of a pair”).[1] Alternatively, analyzable as a compound of аль (ālʲ, “half, one of a pair”) with an unknown/extinct first formant.

An alternative etymological theory featured both by VWdJS and CHYD is a compound word, with Proto-Yeniseian *pʰɯλ (“colon, entrails”) (Ket хыль (hɨ̄lʲ, “colon, entrails, internal organs”)) as its second formant, proposed by Sergej A. Starostin.[2]
