332. p(i)lo = hair (JS-317-18-19).

Because of the correspondence between r and l the DR. seed-word of this IE root has r in it. In Dravidian Malto language purgu = hair on the body (4358-Malt). Because of the correspondence between b and p many other DR. seed-words in the same group 4358 begin with b, as in the seed-word bulus = hair, pubic hair (4358-Konda). Note that the derived Greek word berron = shaggy (JS-318), and Latin burra = hairy also begin with the consonant b. Here, note the other DR. seed-words in the same group 4358 such as buru = hair, fur, feather (Kui); bura = pubic hair, down (Pe). JS states that this root also has given rise to the word peel. Note here that in DR. pala = to peel (4010-Kui).

333. piss = imitative.

Note that this root has given rise to French pissar, pissoir, and it occurs in vespasian, the name of the public outdoor urinal. This is not surprising because the DR. seed-word of this root is pisk = urine (4132-To). Also in the same group 4132, note pisk in- = to urinate (To).

334. plak = strike (JS-320).

The DR. seed-word of this IE root has survived in a nasal form palanku = to strike (4011-Ka).

335. pleik = to tear (JS-320).

It is not unimportant that the derived Germanic form of this root denotes: flay. Note the DR. seed-words such as polike = peel, skin (4561-Tu); poliyukka = skin to be peeled off (4560-Ma). Also note poli = to tear into strips (Ta); pele = skin (4010-Mand); pala = to peel (Kui).

336. plek = to weave together (Pei-166-67); plek = bend, fold, braid, twist, weave (JS-320-21).

JS points out that this root changed from p to f to b, and Pei wonders if this root is connected with Latin flecto = to bend, but then suggests that this would call for another root in bhlek. This is not surprising because the DR. seed-word of this root begins with b. Note bal(u)ku = to bend (5314-Ka). As befits Dravidian as the common source of Indo-European, there is, however, the other DR. seed-word which begins with p. Note palga = to bend forwards (4015-Kui). That this root connotes the sense of weaving is correct because the DR. seed-words are polluka = to sew, mend (mats, baskets); [[it is common sense that mats and baskets are mended by weaving, braiding, bending, etc., the straws, thin pieces of bamboo, etc.] (4554-Ma); pollika = to have (mats, etc.) mended (Ma); polige = sewing, needlework (Ka).

337. pleu = flow (JS-322).

The DR. seed-words with which this IE root is intertwined are poli = to flow (4556-Ta); polivu = flowing (Ta); poli = pouring outlet of a river into the sea (Ma); poliyuka = flow off (Ma). Note that the word fowl is ascribed to this root and that in DR. pul = jungle fowl (4374-Ta); pulan = jungle fowl (Ta).

338. pleus = pluck (322).

The DR. seed-word of this root is incorporated in piluka = to pluck off (4212-Ma). Note that the root has given rise to Latin pluma = feather, and to plumage, plume in English (JS-322). Here, note that in DR. pula = feather (4358-Go); pulle = plume, feather (Tu).

339. plou = flea (JS-322-23).

Note that in Kannada all insects and worms are generally referred to as pulu (pulu = worm, insect in general – 4312-Ka). The DR. seed-word of this IE root denotes a related insect pulu = mite (4312-Ma).

340. pol = thumb (JS-324).
