Ket
Etymology
Perhaps derived from Proto-Yeniseian *atɬ-Vŋ (“trousers”, literally “ halves”). Cognate with Yug álɨŋ, Kott aláŋ and Assan álaŋ.
Werner (2002) posits two other possibilities, either being borrowed from Kyrgyz ала (ala, “inner part of a pair of trousers”) or from Proto-Finno-Ugric *ëla (“bottoms”), for which compare Finnish ali (“underside, bottoms”).
