All have been suspected to belong to the same family, at the heart of which, most probably, would be the verbal root *jā-. Some of the problems associated with this idea were known previously, whereas some are newly identified here. The paper considers various constraints and proposes a scheme centred around *jā ∼ *ja- ‘to be near, …’, which may or may not be connected to MaTung. daga ‘id.’ and Mo. daga- ‘to follow’.}, doi = {10.4467/20834624SL.23.012.18273}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/studia-linguistica-uic/article/ptkc-ja-ja-to-be-near-and-the-question-of-altaic-correspondences} }
