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.
I am citing from SS Misra (p. 19):
The form FU *porc'as for and beside *p;ors'as, 'piglet' should be
derived from *pars'as rather than parc'as Indo-Iranian form normally
reconstructed as such.
