The PIE form was *pork^os, the Proto-Satem form *pors'os, the Proto-
Indo-Iranian form *pars'as (attested in Saka and Kurdish). The
Finnic form fits none exactly.
Sanskrit:
pala_li 'a heap of flesh'
antah-pars'avya 'flesh between the ribs' (Va_jasneyi Samhita_).
I don't know, Piotr, if these could be related to *pars'as (PII
form).
