Why? The *k^ is treated as expected in all the branches that have the
word. A more recent loan would not behave like that.
Piotr
=============
We have already discussed this word.
Cf. Greek *yikwos < Tokharian yakw
Cf. Anatolian from Iranian.
This word does not even correspond
in a clean way within IE languages
It does not qualify for cognacy.
I'm grateful for the Procustean Myth,
Ready to apply this to other cases than mine.
