Usage notes

  • Not listed by BSKJa, CHYD or VWdJS. This word is only found in SKR,[1] a Ket-Russian bilingual dictionary, and included here for completion sake.
  • This form in Modern Ket co-exists with ӄөга киʼ (qóka kiˀ), which is a native Ket term. It should be noted, however, that despite these forms being able to be elicited from some speakers, native counting barely goes above 20 nowadays.[2]
