So p- in anlaut is lost in Moksha but not in Ersha?
Please explain.

I believe *puH is a better reconstruction,
*puH-a > Erzia puv-a-ms
but
Moksha is upH-a > uf-a-ms.

Do you know the rules that have been used to explain these

How about this:
your criticism is eiorughpfuhiodufghous, your knowledge on the subject

Hahahaha. You were saying?
========
I can see nothing Danish,
Danish is full of glottal stops, I see none.
