Proto-Tungusic

Etymology

Unknown. Analyzed as *xeb +‎ *-ti (“dual-pair forming suffix”) +‎ *-lē (“locative suffix”) per Doerfer & Knüppel. Most likely related to *xebte (“lungs”) due to phonological similarity.

Doerfer also states that the Tungusic words might have derived from Proto-Mongolic *ebčexün (“breastbone”)[1], however a possible loaning has not yet been proved.
