To the extent that this is analyzable, it seems to be a compound of a root *pse and, apparently, locative *o- and local reflexes of *hų́•pe ‘shoe’. Parallel instances of #ps- clusters point to an older *wa-sé• where wa- is ‘absolutive’. Riggs’ explanation of ‘water ash’ perhaps reverses the direction of derivation. That is, rather than the tree being named for the snowshoe, the snowshoe is probably an ‘ash shoe’.
