From the online Pokorny:
Record number: 844
Root / lemma: ka:>pho- oder k^o:>pho-
English meaning: hoof
German meaning: `Huf'
Material: Ai. s/apha/- m. `Huf, Klaue', av. safa- m. `Huf des
Pferdes';
aisl. ho:fr, ags. ho:f, ahd. huof `Huf'.
Iranian and Germanic only? So what about Russian "kopyto"?
I'm struggling with the online "Inherited Slavic Lexicon", but
haven't found it.
Also, Alex, what Latin compound did you have in mind?
