Ket
Etymology
Inherited and derived from Proto-Yeniseian *eʌjʌ (“kill”, infinitive verb).[1][2][3]
Pronunciation
Verb
эй (èj, [s⁴]-[q²]-ej⁰) (action nominal, conjugation class I or IV)
- killing, the act of killing [Action nominal]
- (transitive, telic) subject kills (someone or something else) [Conjugation class I]
- (intransitive, reflexive, telic) subject kills oneself, subject commits suicide [Conjugation class IV]
Usage notes
- In Central and Northern Ket dialects, verb stems эйә (èjə) and эйи (èji) are used respectively instead, all broadly and phonemically analyzed as /èj/.
- The preterite and imperative-marking prefix, usually either l²- or n²-, is replaced just in the case of this verb base with q²-. This is also the case for the verbs that are derived from this verb base, for example Ket уссэй (us⁷-[s⁴]-[q²]-ej⁰, “S. hunts wild game, kills”).[4]
