Proto-Uralic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Possibly a pre-Proto-Uralic doublet with either or both of *ńäle- (“to swallow”), *ńolke (“snot, slime”). Connection with Turkic *jālga- (“to lick”) (if from earlier *ńalga-) has occasionally been proposed.
Reconstruction[edit]
Earlier often reconstructed as *ńola- or *ńole-, but Aikio (2016) argues in favor of original *a.
Verb[edit]
*ńale-
- to lick
