Comments: ССЕ 188-189, 204. Roots for "throwing" and "sowing" are probably to be united (although they are divided in ССЕ). Ass. pičiga and Ar. pis may belong here if p- is a class marker. One should also take into account that these Assan and Arin forms, as well as the Pumpokol one, may actually reflect a faulty translation, being very close phonetically to the words for 'evening' and 'dark' - see on that Werner 2, 173. See also Werner 1, 247-248, 249-250, 317 (forms meaning "throw", without reconstruction).
