Ket

Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Ketic *kajis (burbot), derived from Proto-Ketic *kaj + Proto-Yeniseian *ise (meat, flesh; fish), later simplifying into *kēˑs.[1] This supposed compound word can be supported by the doublet Ket кайгит (kájkit, immature burbot (fish)).

Alternatively analyzable as a petrified compound of ись (īsʲ, fish; meat) with an extinct first formant *кай- found in doublet Ket кайгит (kájkit, immature burbot (fish)).
