Reconstruction:Proto-Uralic/ćäjćemä
Proto-Uralic edit
Alternative forms edit
- *ćäjććemä
Reconstruction edit
Per Aikio (UED draft, 2020), who has shown that the word has regular Samoyedic cognates: *ćäjć(ć)imä > *säjsəmə > *säjsmə > *säjʔmə, with later reduction to *säjʔwə.
Before the Samoyedic cognates were shown to be regular, there were other theories regarding this word. According to Napolskikh (1995), the western reflexes may have consisted of one or more loans from an early Balto-Slavic form *setĭmĭ (later Proto-Slavic *sedmь), if one were to assume for this a palatalized pronunciation of *s and *t. Napolskikh also considered Proto-Samoyedic *säjkwə to derive from Tocharian.
