Reconstruction notes

Etymology

According to Nişanyan, a derivation from Proto-Turkic *yīg.[4] However, he does not elaborate on the morphology. Räsänen compares Finnish äimä, however, this is discredited by Eren.[5]

Khabtagaeva (2019)[6] and Vajda-Werner (2022)[7] suppose a relation with Ket иʼнь (iˀnʲ, needle), which is usually explained as an inheritance from Proto-Yeniseian *jen-ja (needle), nominalized form of *jen (spine-like sharp object). Khabtagaeva purports that both Yeniseian > Turkic and Turkic > Yeniseian loaning directions are plausible, though she favors the latter. Despite that, the words listed as borrowings are most likely native to Yeniseian[8][9][10], which may suggest the former loaning direction instead. On that note, also compare Proto-Yeniseian *jet (edged and thick sharp object; tooth).

Noun

  1. (sewing) needle
