Pacoh

Etymology

From Proto-Katuic *saj, *psaj, from Proto-Mon-Khmer. Cognate with Eastern Bru pasâi, Semai ba'heeq, Jehai bhiʔ, Bahnar phĭ, Khmu [Cuang] biʔ, Mon ဖဲ.

For some other cases where Pacoh (and Katuic in general) has /s/ while other Austroasiatic languages have /h/, see also kixay (“moon”), pixay (“otter”). Although Shorto (2006) chiefly reconstructed these cognate sets with *h, Katuic is probably conservative, with other branches underwent debuccalization.
