Reconstruction:Proto-Samoyedic/jojs

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
A user has added this reconstruction entry to requests for deletion(+).
Please see that page for discussion and justifications beyond the initial comment of: “The Enets, Nenets, and most of the Selkup descendants are instead from *jür. Furthermore, the Nganasan term cannot regularly be descended from *jojs; PSam *#j consistently corresponds with Ngan dj, not č. As only Selkup 'чош' is left as a supposed descendant, I think constructing a Proto-Samoyedic form to account for just one branch is unjustified. —Kulinkuu (talk) 20:58, 22 December 2024 (UTC)”.
