Torsten,
I already told you this is *amt "horn"
and Ostyak *aN&t is something else.

Agðir name eines gebietes in S.W. Norwegen (viell. das lat.-germ.
augandzi, falls statt agadii bei Jordanes, s. J.V. Svensson, NB 5,
1917, 141) -wohl zu einem wort *agð- 'scharfe Landspitze', vgl. ae
egeðe, ahd egida 'egge' (s. Hj. Lindroth, NB 6, 1918, 66-7); anders,
aber weniger ws zu ág 1 (v. Grienberger, ZfdA 46, 1902, 165).
vgl. Egðir 2 und egg 1.

Identical (cf. initial n,- and w- in the Samoyed reflexes of *utka-,
which might be original, ie. from *n,utka-),

Hitch is no *utka but only *ox&t

Reading you, I was thinking about dear poor M. Gwin wriggling on his chair
wondering what purpose you pursue.

For your own information, even though you often wrongly do not heed what I
tell you, I currently have a very instructive discussion on another list
about clusters like -nt- -mt- and -Nt- in Uralic. This forces me to check
all cases and this ultimately makes way for my little theory that Uralic
(UEW) *käte "hand" must in fact be reconstructed *kanti, which is the
original source of Germanic *handi.
As a matter of fact, my proposal with only four vowels and two original
clusters -mt- and -Nt- resists refutation.
It's simpler and, on top of that, it makes free-of-charge connections with
Altaic !
I may have underestimated Uralic and Altaic proximity.
