Reconstruction:Proto-Uralic/käle

Reconstruction
Reconstructed as *keele in the UEW, mainly on the basis of Finnic. Sammallahti (1988) reconstructs *käxle; according to Aikio (2012), it is not necessary to posit a separate element *x, and vowel length in Finnic can be considered the result of secondary lengthening.

Noun

 * 1) tongue
