PCS

*watid- - peg (Kogan 2015: 204)

If the Tigre lexemes are related to *watid- as cognates, the PCS status of this term becomes problematic. Note also Gez wadda

Hebrew
yātēd - wooden peg (HALOT 450)
Arabic
watid- - wooden pin, peg (Lane 2917)
Tigre
mətəd - peg (WTS 440)
Tigre
wätdä - to fix into the ground, to erect (WTS 439)
usually thought to be borrowed from Arabic (DRS 650, Leslau 1990:152), which is far from obvious (Kogan 2015: 204)
