Proto-Altaic: *p`ī́k`è ( ~ -k-)
Meaning: to file, polish, rub
Russian meaning: пилить, полировать, тереть
Comments: Дыбо 15, Мудрак Дисс. 198, Лексика 399. Mong. egeɣü is probably borrowed from Turkic. Closed *ẹ̄ in Turk. is not quite clear: it is either the result of narrowing in a polysyllabic stem, or a reflex of the lost *p`- (cf. the diphthongization in Chuv. jǝgev). altet-prnum,altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-tung,altet-jap,altet-reference,

Comments: JLTT 689. The basic meaning of the verb attested in OJ is 'pull'; modern Jpn. has, however, also the meaning 'to file, saw', and in OJ there is a derived noun pjikji, pjikji-ri 'rubbing wood for producing fire' (where pji- is definitely attested and cannot be = pi 'fire'). The meaning 'pull' therefore is either unrelated or secondarily derived < 'file, rub'. japet-prnum,japet-meaning,japet-rusmean,japet-ajp,japet-mjp,japet-tok,japet-kyo,japet-kag,japet-comments,
