But PIE dental + dental > PGerm. -ss- too, without exception, so the
Germanic words in *kat- (add *katil- > kettle, supposedly a loan from
Latin catillus) can't be derived from this root, if the alternation
*kat-/*kas- is a purely Dacian development. Unless one wants to claim
some Dacian-like substrate for words in Greek, Latin, Germanic and
NWBlock.

Pokorny made up his mind that they were two independent roots, but
that seems wrong, given the semantics of those two roots.

Or it's a substrate word even in Dacian. When did rhotacism in
Romanian take place?

See above.
