Reconstruction notes
Given that the expected reflex of PTg *ü is Udihe и (i), Udihe ухи- (uhi-, “to sow, to plant a garden”), ухи (uhi, “garden for cultivating plants”) may represent cases of intra-Tungusic borrowing and the inherited reflex in Udihe may be йэу- (jeu-, “to grow”), given the palatal glide onset. Note however that, even if the majority reflex PTg *ü is и (i) in Oroch, there are a few instances where PTg *ü is retained as u instead, e.g. PTg. *erün (“time”) as Oroch эрун (erun), PTg *xulbü- (“to bind, arrange”) as Oroch уббуна (ubbuna-), PTg *xüyegün as Oroch хую(н) (xuju(n)), PTg *tüksa (“house cover made of birch bark”) as Oroch тукса (tuksa) etc.[2]
