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 is _no_ *saq meaning 'follow' in standard Arabic.
