So,
Uralic /s/ becomes Samoyedic /t/
and Finno-Ugric ?

=================
I would not word it this way
which is much too committal and abrupt.
You can find Samoyedic obvious cognates
which have #t- as initial
when the rest of Uralic points at #s-
Standard reconstruction for this is #s-
but nothing proves it really was *s-
I told you that South-East Asian languages
are clearer
There are dozens of words where #s- is certain
and where #t- is now the initial in present-day
languages.
