Well, *sd (*zd) should have given <z> in Attic Greek (cf. PIE *osdos
(*ozdos) "branch", Attic <ozos>), so we would expect +<parzo->.

Besides, *przdos is not dignified enough for any cat, looking as it
does like a cross between the two PIE roots for "fart": *perd- (the
loud variety) and *pezd- (the soft but pestilent variety).
