Комментарии: One of two examples on PK *y-, this interrogative pronoun in PK had the meaning 'who', opposed to *yān- 'what' and *ec- 'which, how many'. Lost everywhere, the initial *y-, however, left serious traces everywhere, since in Kui it left the variants i- and e-, while in Kuwi_F *ya- > a- before the following -a- and > i- before the following -i-.
