ALFRÉD TÓTH : HUNGARIAN AND ESKIMO-ALEUT — with Paleo-Siberian Cognates<br />

Proto-Turkic *Ara-<br />

Proto-Mongolic *(h)ara-<br />

Proto-Tungusic *para-<br />

Proto-Uralic *parз, *porз “group, mass, pile”<br />

Komi, Udmurt pur “raft”<br />

Proto-<strong>Eskimo</strong> *paRt∂(R) “string, rope”<br />

Central Asian Yupik paXtak “spruce root stretched above water’s surface”<br />

Sumerian bur, wr. ĝešbur “a tree” (inherited Hung. p-).<br />

<strong>Hungarian</strong> paskolni “to clap, to slap, to hit”<br />

Proto-<strong>Eskimo</strong> *pat∂γ- “to slap”<br />

Sumerian pašu (1x: Old Babylonian) wr. pa-a-šu "type of axe". Inherited Hung.<br />

p- (EWU, p. 1123: onomatopoetic).<br />

<strong>Hungarian</strong> patak “brook”<br />

<strong>Eskimo</strong>-<strong>Aleut</strong> p∂t∂- “to penetrate”<br />

Sumerian pu (95x: ED IIIb, Ur III, Old Babylonian, Middle Babylonian) wr. pu2<br />

“well; fish pond; source (of river)” + tag4 “to open” (Oberhuber 1990,<br />

p. 465). Inherited Hung. p- (EWU, p. 1129: borowed from a Slavonic<br />

language).<br />

<strong>Hungarian</strong> peregni “to move in a circle, to rate”<br />

Proto-Altaic *p’erkV “to tie around, to surround”<br />

Proto-Mongolic *hergi-<br />

Proto-Tungusic *perke-<br />

Proto-Uralic (?),<br />

Proto-Finno-Ugric *pire(-), pirä(-) “circle, ring; to enclose, to surround”<br />

Proto-<strong>Eskimo</strong> *p∂R∂- “to bend, to flex”<br />

Sumerian bir (37x: Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr. bir; bi-bi-re; bir9 “to scatter,<br />

disperse”<br />

<strong>Hungarian</strong> perem “edge, rim, margin, seam”<br />

Proto-Altaic *p’èrì “edge”<br />

Inuit p’∂lXaŋ “cheek”<br />

Chukotko-Kamch. ∂lp∂-lŋ∂n “id.” (with metathesis)<br />

Sumerian bar (2579x: ED IIIa, ED IIIb, Ebla, Old Akkadian, Lagash II, Ur III,<br />

Early Old Babylonian, Old Babylonian) wr. bar; ba-ra; bala; bur<br />

“outside, (other) side; behind; outer form, outer; fleece; outsider,<br />

strange; back, shoulder; liver; because of; to set aside; to cut open, slit,<br />

split”. Without doubt also related is Sum. par (130x: ED IIIa, ED IIIb,<br />

Old Akkadian, Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr. pa5; pa6 “(small) canal,<br />

irrigation ditch” (cf. the name of the river Ó-Perint in Vas megye). The<br />

etymology given by EWU, p. 1145 (Germ. Bräme “seam”) is thus<br />

mistaken, <strong>and</strong> we have another proof for inherited Hung. p-.<br />
