Greek Psi

I was wondering if anyone here could tell me (1) whether any Greek
words beginning with or containing psi have any IE cognates. and (2)
if those words Gk could have been formed by eliding the vowel that
originally existed between pi and sigma, say, akin to the way Gk words
beginning with "pt" were formed from PIE pet-. Thanks.very much for
any help.
