Reconstruction:Proto-Chukotko-Kamchatkan/pəlæk

Etymology
Apparently found only in the Chukotkan branch. In Chukchi and Kerek it is augmented with the singulative suffix.

Bogoraz (1937) also reports 🇨🇬, in which the first part may be an incorporated element descending from this root. In fact, generally Proto-Chukotko-Kamchatkan *l > Chukchi l, but it often alternates with č.

Noun

 * 1) boots (possibly made of reindeer skin)

Descendants
