Proto-Chukotko-Kamchatkan
Etymology
Likely related with the verbal root Proto-Chukotko-Kamchatkan *ðəlŋə- (“to count”), whence Chukchi рылгы (rəlɣə) and Itelmen ԓнес (ɬnes). This root also appears as the first element of the compound Proto-Chukotko-Kamchatkan *ðəlɣəlelŋən (“glove”).
In Chukchi, the stem рылгы- (rəlɣə-) alternates with рычгы- (rəčɣə-) especially in compounds. The Itelmen form is perhaps reduplicated (Fortescue, 2005: 68).
Noun
*ðəlɣə
