One considers them to be Yeniseic too, but only conditionally. The author suggests an etymological explanation of the river names ending in -get/-gat (-ket/-kat), while he derives this component from *-kʌʔt ‘children of the same mother’ with the semantic development: > ‘members of a family’ > ‘members of a family clan’ > ‘tribe’ > ‘people’. The corresponding river names are clipped forms without the appellative ‘river’.}, doi = {10.4467/20843836SE.12.010.0400}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/studia-etymologica-cracoviensia/artykul/zur-etymologie-der-westsibirischen-hydronyme-auf-get-gat-ket-kat} }
