TI - TWO POLISH LOANWORDS IN YAKUT (‘SNUFF [TOBACCO]’; ‘THOUSAND’), BEING ALSO A LOOK AT THEIR REFLEXES IN SOME OTHER SIBERIAN LANGUAGES AS WELL AS IN RUSSIAN
AB - The Polish origin of the Yakut word for ‘snuff’ was suggested some years ago but a closer look at this word nest reveals new and rather unclear aspects. The other word to be discussed here is that for ‘thousand’; its Russian origin is doubted by this author because of phonetic inaccuracies which can be well removed once a Polish etymon of the Yakut word is accepted.
