ся • (sja)

1. alternative spelling of с'я (s'ja)

Spelling contracted words without the apostrophe is non-standard, but is actually the more common way to spell them colloquially, especially so on the internet. Since с'я is itself colloquial, it is rare to see it written with an apostrophe.

Perhaps derived from Proto-Ketic *sabot (“belongings?”), itself possibly derived from Proto-Yeniseian *sax? (“property”) + Proto-Yeniseian *pʰadʲ (“flat surface”).^[1]

Also compare the unabridged compound word, Ket сявот (sábod, “items, belongings; clothes; bed, bedding”), found attested in all Ket varieties.

• IPA^(key): /¹sa/, [s͉ʲaˑ˧] ~ [s͉ʲæˑ˧]

ся (sā) n (no plural)

1. items, cargo, belongings
2. clothes, clothing, dress, dresswear (Northern Ket varieties)
3. bed, bedding (Northern Ket varieties)

• This word is only recorded being used for Central and Northern Ket varieties. It is not found used in the standard (Southern) Ket.

Inherited from Proto-Ketic *sɯˀŋ (“dress”, infinitive verb), derived from Proto-Yeniseian *sɯˀŋ (“tie up, fasten”, infinitive verb), derived from Proto-Yeniseian *aŋ (“hang, tie”, verb) with Proto-Yeniseian *si- (infinitive prefix) appended.^[2][3] The original meaning of this verb was 'tie, lace up', referring to the leather thongs on articles of Ket traditional clothing.

Also compare Ket ись ([l²]-is⁰ ~ [l²]-s⁰, “S. dresses O.; S. dressed oneself”).

• IPA^(key): / …sa/ ~ /…s/, […s͉ʲa] ~ […s͉ʲ]

ся ~ -сь ([l²]-sa⁰ ~ [l²]-sʲ⁰) (conjugation class II or IV)

1. (transitive, atelic) subject dresses direct object (someone) in indirect object (something) [Conjugation class II]
2. (intransitive, resultative, atelic) subject is dressed [Conjugation class II]
3. (intransitive, reflexive, atelic) subject dresses oneself [Conjugation class IV]

• This verb uses different conjugation paradigms for different semantic expansions of the base verb 'to dress'. See the following examples, where the respective person markings in Ket are applied to the English translation as superscript numerals:
  • (sense 1:) Дагуся. (Dákusa. «da⁸꞊ku⁶-sa⁰», “She⁸ dresses thee⁶.”)
  • (sense 2:) Дъйся. (Də́jsa. «da⁸꞊sa⁰», “She⁸ gets dressed.”)
  • (sense 3:) Дъъся. (Də́jəsa. «da⁸꞊a¹-sa⁰», “She⁸ dresses herself¹.”)
