Proto-Altaic: *p`[i̯ū̀]ju
Nostratic: Nostratic
Meaning: a k. of tree

Turkic: *ɨ, *ɨ-(ń)gač
Mongolian: *hoj
Tungus-Manchu: *pōj-, *pōj-ki- ( > *piā-kī-)

Japanese: *pí
Comments: SKE 199 (Turk.-Tung.-Kor.), Цинциус 1984, 37-38, АПиПЯЯ 284, Дыбо 11, Лексика 104. A rather complicated case, because of contractions and compounds. For the second part of the PT compound cf. perhaps Mong. gesi-ɣü(n) 'branch'. The old compound *p`i̯ūju-*gVša, beside Turk. *ɨgač, may be reflected in OJ pàjàsi 'forest', ТМ *pā(j)k[š]a 'wood' (ТМС 2, 311)).

Comments: VEWT 7, ЭСТЯ 1, 71-73, TMN 2, 73f, EDT 79-80, Егоров 83, Лексика 104, Stachowski 176. The form contains perhaps PT 'bush, tree' as the first component (for OT ɨ see EDT 1), cf. the OT combination ɨ ɨɣač; but the second element is yet unclear.
