that is one of the very interesting roots for me since I cannot see any
phonetical dificulties for having the actually output in Romanian direct
from IE root without any Slavic influence. I think here at the phonetic
interdiction of having "s"+ "voiced" thus the "s" became voiced as well.

Any idea why should be the Rom. word "pizd�" a loan from Slavic? I see none,
at least no phoneticaly one.
