Can this page be renamed to *(s)peḱ-? It's not clear from the title that the root contains an s-mobile element (cf. Vedic paśyati "he sees.") If this isn't the place to make this suggestion, then please let me know (I'm new!)

@Pingalaka: So far as I can see only Sanskrit drops the initial s. And even that is only for the form पश्यति (paśyati) and all other forms from this root have the initial s. If all other descendants retain it, this must be seen as a Sanskrit innovation. -- mādhavpaṇḍit (talk) 08:05, 22 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Rendering Parthian script[edit]

I'm having trouble rendering the Parthian text in this article. I've tried the NoTo font from Google but it fails. I am running an iMac, running Mac OS 10.13.6. I'm using Firefox 65 for my browser.
