туль

Ket

Etymology 1

A petrified compound of ту (, this, these) +‎ -ль (ablative suffix stem).[1]

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /¹tul/, [tuˑɮʲ˧]

Adverb

туль (tūlʲ)

  1. from there; then so

Etymology 2

Inherited from Proto-Yeniseian *tʰul (left, not-right, adjective).[2][3]

(Editor's note: However, the similar looking Yug form, Yug сульгей (súlʲgej, left, toward left), is most likely borrowed from Turkic languages, q.v. Turkish sol (left).)

  • IPA(key): /¹tul/, [tuˑɮʲ˧]

Adjective

туль (tūlʲ)

  1. left (not-right, this direction: ←)
Usage notes
  • For the opposite direction, see Ket богат (bóqad, right).

Etymology 3

Most likely borrowed from Turkic and untraceable back into Proto-Yeniseian stage,[4] despite the comments by VWdJS[5] and SLDB,[6] and the formally similar but unrelated forms resurfaced by Eugene A. Helimskij in distantly related Kott and Arin; Kott šur (ore) and Arin temin-kur (ore, iron ore?).[7]

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /¹tul/, [tuˑɮʲ˧]

туль (tūlʲn (no plural)

From earlier *tʰul (“fence, row”).[8]
