Inherited from Proto-Ketic *qusam-bʌnsaŋ-qo (“nine”), derived from Proto-Yeniseian *qusʌ-bʌnsʌ (“nine”) + Proto-Yeniseian *qagʌ (“ten”), the first part of the compound derived from Proto-Yeniseian *qus ~ *qut (“one”, inanimate class) + Proto-Ketic *bʌnsʌ ~ *bʌnsaŋ (“does not exist”, non-agreeing predicate element).[1]
Alternatively, analyzable as a compound of ӄусь (qūsʲ, “one”) + бәньсяӈ (bə́nʲsaŋ, “no, not, does not exist”) + ӄө (qō, “ten”) . This, in turn, yields the following operation, 10 − 1 = 9.
