Greetings!

I was just wondering if anybody could tell me whether the Hebrew verbs peqach and petah 'to open' are today considered as cognate as Gesenius claimed they are in his lexicon, and if so, what the original root could have been.

Thanks very much for any insight anyone can give me into the origin of these words and any possible relationship.

Sincerely,
Bill Schmidt
