PROTO: *pħăṭV
MEANING: a k. of vessel
COMMENT: The root is reflected only in three languages, thus the PEC antiquity is somewhat dubious. However, it can be possibly related to PWC *pǝtǝ 'kitchen' (Ub. pǝt, Adygh. pǝt; Shagirov's etymology in Shagirov 2, 39 - from pǝtǝ-n 'to be an extension of smth.' - seems rather uncertain), if we assume an assimilative deglottalisation and semantic development 'some kitchen vessel' > 'kitchen'.
