PTCh evolved from PTH, the soft Heh moved slightly forward and became more
course. PTH also means to open, but in context it is more often than not a
behavioral open than a physical:
to open wide (Pr20:19)
to be open to persuasion (Dt11:16)(Jb31:27)
to be gullible (Jb5:2)(Hs7:11)
to persuade (piel)
(Ex22:15)(Jd14:15)(KI22:20,22)(Jr20:7)(Hs2:16)(Pr1:10;16:29)

PQCh has more of a sense of "to burst or pop open" because it evolved from
PWQ / (PQH) meaning:
to bring out (Pr8:35;12:2;18:22)
to pour out (one's soul) (Is58:10)
to bring out of oneself; find within oneself (Pr3:13)
(bring out of oneself) make an effort, to move (Jr10:4)

The similarities between the two are a case of CONVERGENT EVOLUTION found in
language and nothing more.
