Etymology

A compound, but the dividing of its constituents are unclear. One can argue for both leo-xóxar and leox-óxar, depending on the etymology posited. The first part of the compound is either derived from Proto-Yeniseian *tɬiwdʳ (“oil, lard”)[1] or from *ɬewq (“dirt, smirch”),[2] respectively. While Vajda (2024) does not elaborate on the second part of the compound, Hill et al. (2024) propose Proto-Yeniseian *[ɢoj]q-owɬ (“bile, gall”), going off of their own comparisons.

Noun

leoxóxar (W.)

  1. (anatomy) bladder or gall bladder (recorded as Latin vesica, a clipping of either vesica urinaria (“bladder”) or vesica biliaris (“gall bladder”))
