From the author: Avestan acc.sg. ascum 'shank' points to a thematic stem ascuua- < *asciua- and is cognate to Skt. Asthiva(nt)-, which means 'shin, shank' and not 'knee-joint'. The Indo-Iranian word can be reconstructed as *HastciHua-. This is a compound of the word for 'bone' with a reflex of PIE *(s)kiHu- 'shin' attested in Balto-Slavic, Germanic, and, probably, Greek and Armenian.
