1. It is not clear to me how to advance "real evidence" for something that is manifestly self evident.

2. There is, indeed, only a "vague phonetic similarity" for PAQAX, PATAX, PALAX, and PACAX, yet they are all 'cleave, open, separate'.

I think we can then go even deeper into this linguistic gestalt by
recognizing, as Isaac Fried did, that "The root PTX is apparently a
variant of . . . PSG, PSX, PCX, P$X, P$Q, (PSQ), PTX with acts
connoting 'spread'.

I'd like to have more real evidence that these are related than a vague
phonetic similarity.
