Yukaghir

The story

1. Evenki · derived from-гир
2. yux · derived fromйуукэ“far, distant”
3. Russian · borrowed fromюкагир
4. English todayYukaghir

Borrowed from Russian юкагир (jukagir). The part yuka- may derive from Southern Yukaghir йуукэ (jūke, “far, distant”) or juk (“small”), if not from a word from some other language, because the most common endonyms used by Yukaghirs are Southern Yukaghir одул (odul) and Northern Yukaghir вадул (wadul). The suffix -ghir is likely from Evenki -гир (-gir), which is a very common ending in names of Evenki, Even and Orochon tribes.
