Comments: PTsKh *ʕö̃ƛ̣ (NB: Bokarev cites Inkh. eƛ̣ 'handle' - which must be the same word as the MSU recording ẽƛ̣ 'hammer-handle'); PGB *ʔãƛ̣ (the Gunz. form is not quite regular: PGB *ʔɔ̃ƛ̣ and Gunz. ɔ̃ƛ̣ would be regularly expected - one wonders if the Gunz. form is not a borrowing from Bezht., cf. Bezht. Khosh. aƛ̣ id.).
