Etymology
According to Nişanyan, a derivation from Proto-Turkic*yīg. However, he does not elaborate on the morphology. Räsänen compares Finnishäimä, however, this is discredited by Eren.
Khabtagaeva (2019) and Vajda-Werner (2022) suppose a relation with Ketиʼнь(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, which may suggest the former loaning direction instead. On that note, also compare Proto-Yeniseian *jet(“edged and thick sharp object; tooth”).
