Continuing on previous research, in this
part of a paper series, a total of thirty-nine newly found suggested borrowings
from the Turkic, Tungusic and Mongolic (and Russian) languages into the
Yukaghir languages and dialects of far northeastern Siberia are presented as
loanword etymologies, which is followed by the discussion of a few tentative
cases. The chronology of the borrowings is considered, and solid phonological
and semantic considerations are given for each suggestion, and other possible
cognates or borrowings in the surrounding languages are also discussed.
Further, some transcriptional corrections to the documentation of older
Yukaghir lexicon is suggested. The results again highlight the extensive
historical social contacts between the Yukaghir populations and surrounding
tribes.
