ӄанӈ

Nivkh

Etymology

From Proto-Nivkh *ɢanŋ.

Similar to other Eurasian dog words such as Proto-Sino-Tibetan *d-kʷəj-n and Proto-Indo-European *ḱwṓ, but this is likely to be a coincidence or a parallel onomatopoeic derivation.

Noun

ӄанӈ (qanŋ)

  1. (East Sakhalin, South Sakhalin) dog
  • ӄан (qan) (Amur, North Sakhalin)
