פֶּתְכָּא   n.m.  mixture
mixture of waters  LJLA.  PJ Gen2:7 : ודבר עפרא מאתר בית מקדשא ומארבעת רוחי עלמא ופתכא מכל מימי עלמא  He took dirt from the place of the Temple and from the four directions of the world and a mixture of the world’s waters †. shatnez: a luxurious garment of mixed fibers  Syr, LJLA.  TgProv31:24 : פתגא עבדת וזבנת  she made a p. garment and sold it.

Levy proposes a possible connection between the LJLA form פתאגא and the equally obscure BH hapax פתיגיל, a type of luxury garment.
