нут
Ket
Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Ketic *nūˑtʌ (“suck”, infinitive verb), with parallels seen in distantly related Kott (Kott ba’ûtaŋ (baˀuːtaŋ «b⁶-a³-ˀuːt⁰꞊aŋ⁻³», “I suck.”))[1][2][3], derived from Proto-Yeniseian *n (thematic marker) + Proto-Yeniseian *wut (“hold tight”, verb base) + Proto-Yeniseian *-ʌŋ (infinitive verb suffix).[4]
Although this infinitive verb appears etymologically fairly obscure at first glance, multiple remnants of the verb base *wut can be seen in numerous words, such as Ket мамат (mámt, “nursing, the act of nursing; breastfeeding, the act of breastfeeding”), Ket мамътсь (mámətsʲ, “suckling”) and also Ket быт (bɨ̄d, “tightly, firmly”).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /¹nut/, [nuˑt˧]
Verb
нут (nūt) (action nominal)
Usage notes
- Only found attested for Kellog (Southern Ket v.) and Baklanikha (Central Ket v.) dialects, two dialects that are around 450 kilometres (~ 280 miles) apart. Baklanikha dialect uses нутә (nūtə).
- There is also a verbal phrase recorded both for Southern and Central Ket varieties, found on VWdJS, which appear to have fallen out of use, or that it cannot be elicited from the Ket speakers anymore. The phrase is:
- Данамут. (Danamut. «da⁸꞊n⁵-a⁴-b³-ut⁰», “She sucks it[, the teat.]”, “Sie lutscht es.”) [Southern Ket v.]
- Данаамут. (Danaːmut. «da⁸꞊n⁵-a⁴-b³-ut⁰», “She sucks it[, the teat.]”, “Sie lutscht es.”) [Central Ket v.]
- These forms, if they were readily present, would reflect a verb *нут (*n⁵-a⁴-ut⁰, “S. sucks on O.”, conjugation class I).
