That the term "sap" (PIE from base *sab) is not exclusively an IE word,
since it is equally found in Classical Arabic as "sab".
Any thoughts?

==============
Connection between
LAtin sap with short a
PIE *sab juice
is somehow possible
if we posit that the root is
*s_?-p
with a glottal stop that causes -b
in Central PIE.
Now
LAtin is short : should be a:
Arabic sa:b has no glottal stop.
The whole thing is unclear.
