хыль

Ket

Etymology 1

Inherited from Proto-Ketic *pʰɯl (intensive particle used with demonstrative pronouns).[1]

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [hɯlʲ], [hɯɮʲ]

Particle

хыль (hɨlʲ)

  1. intensive particle used with demonstrative pronouns
Usage notes
  • As explained in the definition, this intensifying particle is used only with demonstrative pronouns, preceding them. For example, турь кеʼт would translate into English as "this person", but with хыль inserted, хыль-турь кеʼт would roughly translate into English as "this very person", or "this person [right] here".

Etymology 2

Inherited from Proto-Yeniseian *pʰɯλ (“colon”). Possibly related to Ket хый (hɨ̄j, “stomach”), from Proto-Yeniseian *pʰɯj (“stomach; lower front part of abdomen”).[2]

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [hɯˑlʲ˧], [hɯˑɮʲ˧]

Noun

хыль (hɨ̄lʲ) n (plural хыляӈ)

  1. entrails, colon; internal organs
Usage notes
  • A quite common variant is хыыль, pronounced in third tone (hɨ́ɨ̀lʲ) instead of first, used throughout Ket varieties and dialects.
