Dear all,
Edward J. Vajda, who has been often accused by Arnaud not to realize
that Yeniseian languages are full of Uralic loans, has actually read
and annotated all the extant literature on Uralic influences on
Yeniseian languages in his book _Yeniseian People and Languages: A
History of Yeniseian Studies with an Annotated Bibliography and a
Source Guide_ (Curzon Press 2002), some portions of which can be
accessed online at

Alas, the great majority of such publications are in Russian, a
language French speakers usually find hard to study and learn
properly -- cp. their "Pouchkine", "Lénine", "Gorbatchev", "Poutine
&c. &c. &c. :^)
Here is a list of the concerned publications as cited by Vajda
(sorted by alphabetical order of the authors' surnames). For the
full references, you have to search directly on the book.

Selkup [Samoyedic] or Khanty [Ugric] superstrate pronunciations, and
still others are compounds of Yeniseian with Samoyedic roots); 1960b
(gives many examples of hybrid Ket-Selkup compound hydronyms and
asserts that river names in -as are Yeniseian rather than Ugric)
