Notes

PWS *pls 'to destroy' (SEDonline 1820), which SEDonline 1820 compares with plš 'to pierce' and with PES *fls 'to emigrate' through 'to detach, to separate' (EDA I 299, ◊P0524). EDA I 298–299 (◊P0524) sets JBA pls and the Tgr., Tna., Amh., Har., Mhr., Jib. and Soq. forms beside Akk. palāšu 'to pierce, to bore' as semantically comparable, with final *s against Akk. š.
