иӈӷусь

• иӈӈусь (iŋŋusʲ) (common variant, influenced by the plural эӈӈуӈ (ɛ́ŋŋuŋ))
• иӷусь (iʁusʲ) (Northern Ket dialects)

Compound of иӈ (iŋ, “sunlight”) +‎ ӄуʼсь (quˀsʲ, “birch-bark tent”), from the hypothetical Proto-Ketic compound *iˀ-ŋ-quˀ-s (“wooden cottage”, literally “sun-tents”). Cognate with Yug эхос (ɛ́χɔs, “wooden house”).

Also compare эӈӈуӈ (ɛ́ŋŋuŋ, “houses; village”), from Proto-Ketic *ken-quˀ-ŋ (literally “wooden-tents”).

It is generally not used to refer to traditional tents or other lodgings (like асель (ásɛlʲ, “sailboat houses, ilimka”)) of any kind.
