ニシクリ
Ainu「曇る」
niskurimedium
Batchelor directly lists Nishkuri as “cloudy”, matching both final リ and the 曇る heading more closely than the previous cloud noun niskur. Tamura gives niskur “cloud” and niskur an “be cloudy”. Select niskuri as the closer lexical comparison while retaining niskur as an alternative; the record alone cannot establish whether its final vowel was phonemic. Adding an would supply material absent from the transcription.
