Comments: Cf. PEC *fimḳwV 'fist'. The match of eastern Bsq /nk/ ~ western /k/ is unusual. Trask thought it had to be due to sporadic insertion of the nasal in the East, but other explanations are possible. PSC *m in non-initial positions is unstable in Bsq and usually disappears in clusters. We have tentatively reconstructed Bsq *hu[m]ki-, though so far we know of no other cases of Bsq *-mk-.
