But now talking seriously:

1. A similar phonetism

bHVs-

2. ...linked to a specific semantism :

Because both of them make reference to something denominating 'naked parts of the body'

a) the first 'barefooted' (< for sure denominating initially 'bare foots')

b) the second 'bosom, breast'

3. To this phonetism and to this semantism I will add a third word
c) Skt. bhámsas n. `abdominal part' (quoted by Pokorny at Pok.146 under the root bHes-2)


Marius

P.S. the 2 roots bHes- at Pokorny: Pok.145-6 and Pok.146 have semantically no link with the above words, even the Old Indian word is quoted there....
