Some Ancient Lexical Parallels Between Altaic and Uralic

(45th Meeting of the PIAC, Budapest 2002)

I discuss some Uralo-Altaic lexical parallels never proposed before using recent results in the field of Altaic etymology as well as considering some additions and corrections to comparative phonetics and etymology of Uralic (resp. to Proto-Uralic reconstruction). This material can be interpreted in terms of different contact or genetic hypotheses.
