Mr Ryan,
 
As usual,
And as experienced before,
you are unable to sustain a real scientific discussion.
You claimed PIE *kw was PAA *sh
It's obviously a wrong idea.
 
Semitic *sh is (generally) PIE *s
but some cases are more complicated.
 
PIE *kw is PAA *q.
 
Arabic 1 qâyadh? "to barter,  to exchange goods"
Greek tî-ô "to estimate, to honour"
Arabic qîma "cost, value" = Greek tîmê
 
Arabic 2 qad?aya "to pay back (a crime, a debt), to judge"
Greek "tînô" and poenâ "punishment"
 
I will add :
 
sekw "to follow" = Arabic *saq
 
There are plenty of examples of *kw becoming *q.
Get ready to be flooded.
