"pūkô" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See pūkô in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈpuː.kɔːː/
Etymology: Uncertain. Possibly related to *spōk, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)pāuǵ-, *(s)pāug- (“brilliance; spectre”) with unusually late loss of the s-mobile (after Grimm's law), but this still suffers other phonetic problems as well as probably semantic ones. Perhaps of substrate origin, or imitative like English boo.
