Ket

Etymology 1

Inherited from Proto-Yeniseian *ise (“meat, flesh; fish”),[1][2] also comparable to Proto-Yeniseian *Hitʌ (“fish”).

Noun

ись (īsʲ) f (no plural)

  1. food, meal; fish
  2. meat, flesh

Verb

  1. eating, the act of eating

Etymology 2

A Ket term with no apparent etymology,[3] but perhaps comparable to Proto-Yeniseian *Hitʌj (“belt”).

Noun

Etymology 3

Inherited from Proto-Yeniseian *ise (“fish scale”),[4][5] most likely related to Etymology 1.

Noun

ись (īsʲ) n (plural исяӈ)

  1. scales of fish

Etymology 4

Inherited from Proto-Ketic *sɯˀŋ (“dress”, infinitive verb),[6][7] derived from Proto-Yeniseian *sɯŋ (“tie up, fasten”, infinitive verb), ultimately derived from Proto-Yeniseian *aŋ (“hang, tie”, verb) with Proto-Yeniseian *si- (infinitive prefix) appended.

The original meaning of this verb must have been 'to tie, lace up', referring to the leather thongs on articles of Ket traditional clothing.

Also compare Ket сыыӈ (sɨ́ɨ̀ŋ, “binding, the act of binding; tying up, the act of tying up”, action nominal) and Ket иксиӈ (íksiŋ, “binding, the act of binding; tying up, the act of tying up”, action nominal), where the original meaning is preserved.

Also compare Ket ся (([l²]-sa⁰ ~ [l²]-sʲ⁰, “S. dresses O.; S. dresses oneself”).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /…is/, […is͉ʲ] ~ […s͉ʲ]

Verb

ись ~ -сь ([l²]-isʲ⁰ ~ [l²]-sʲ⁰) (conjugation class II or IV)

  1. (transitive, atelic) subject dresses (someone else) [Conjugation class II]
  2. (intransitive, reflexive, atelic) subject dresses up (oneself) [Conjugation class IV]
