Abstract :In this seventh part of this paper series, additional Turkic (i.e. Yakut) and Tungusic (i.e. Ewen or Ewenki) loanword etymologies for the Yukaghir languages and dialects are presented and evaluated in semantic, phonological and other considerations and viewpoints. In summary, a total of ten Yakut borrowings, and two Tungusic borrowings are given, as well as one Yukaghir borrowing in Ewenki. An extra section of interest in this paper presents some new Tundra Yukaghir field data, and lastly some documentation corrections are again given.
