Proto-Semitic: *pVwVḥ- ~ *pVḥḥ-

Hebrew: pwḥ 'to breathe; wheeze against' [KB 916-17], ypḥ (hitp) 'to gasp for breath, groan' [ibid. 424]; PB paḥ 'blowing', pǝḥī 'blowing out, expiration' [Ja 1151]

Tigre: fǝḥot 'smell, stench' [LH 654]
Notes: Since in ARB, the only language in this entry distinguishing between ḥ and ḫ, examples with both are represented, it is impossible to chose between these two consonants in the reconstructed form. Note various ways of triconsonantizing (insertion of medial -w-, doubling of the second radical, etc.).
