But Welsh Pybyr must come from a form *Kwekw- and not *Kekw- (unless you
just made a typo) because *Kekw- would lead to a Celtic *Cep-/*Cip (and Old
Welsh *Ceb/*Cib). Pokorny has Pybyr coming from a redupl. form of *Kuer-
"shape/make" (thus, *Kwe-Kwer-o).
Another possibility is that Cecht comes from *Kwek- "to see" which is
related to some words meaning "eye" or "shine" in the different languages
Indic kasate, Persian casman, Greek tekhmoor)
