A user has added this reconstruction page to requests for deletion(+).
Please see that page for discussion and justifications beyond the initial comment of: “This is a {{rfv}}. Vovin (2021) (see here) notices this is not a PJ word, for lack of Ryukyuan cognates (only Okinawan cognate only). But there's PJ *panki (“foot, leg”), also *pinsa (“knee”). I also forgot to mention this appears in compounds as a-. Anyways, he thinks it's a loan word from Austronesian, from Batanic ai. Unless we find more Ryukyuan cognates, this reconstruction is problematic.”. You may continue to edit this reconstruction page while the discussion proceeds, but please mention significant edits at the RFD discussion and ensure that the intention of votes already cast is not left unclear.
