- Palatovelar seems to come from some speculative etymology, not really a concrete basis for reconstruction. See RFD [1]. -saph 🍏 17:21, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

- You can see: apsədz (in Abkhaz) = psa (in Ubykh) = "fish" / And "a" is just the article in Abkhaz language, so it's: psədz Böri (talk) 05:01, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

IP forgot to make a post. Although the distribution is really restricted and claims of substrate can be found, it is still citable as PIE lemma, perhaps without palatal (e.g. D. Kölligan (2018) in Handbook of Comparative and Historical Indo-European Linguistics, Vol. 3, p. 2241) and the etymology rn is on fire. That wont-fix, yet it does not deserve deleted. 141.20.6.93 12:54, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep but move to *peysk-. It may have been borrowed from a substrate language, but some form of the word must have existed in Western PIE at least. The links to *peyḱ-, पिच्छ- (piccha-, “feather”), or पिच्छा (picchā, “calf”) are speculative, but can be mentioned. —Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 22:49, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
