biqamálte
Arin
Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Yeniseian *qim ~ *qem (“woman”), later compounded with Proto-Yeniseian *alte (“spouse, partner; woman”).[1][2][3]
The surfacing recorded forms all employ Proto-Yeniseian *b- (first person possessive formant).[4]
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /biqamaltɛ/ ~ /bɯqamaltɛ/
Noun
biqamálte ~ bыqam álte (bi꞊qam-alte) (plural unknown)
Usage notes
- Faultily recorded in the first person possessive form, akin to other kinship and person relationship terms, instead of the basic gloss Arin *kem-el’a (“woman”).[5] Such a mistake is also reproduced by Peter S. Pallas, Arin biqamal (“wife”, [Originally бикӷама́ль]),[6] with a shortened compound word constituent.
- (cf. Arin b’am’a (b’꞊am’a, “my mother”) ← Arin amæ (amä, “mother”))
- There exists also a separate recording, restored by Eugene A. Helimskij, Arin *kek-melte (“wife?”),[7] similarly analyzable as formed with Proto-Yeniseian *k- (second person possessive formant); ke꞊km-elte ← *ke꞊qam-alte, yielding “thy wife”.
