I believe some uralic languages do it too. I've heard some attempts to link it to a circumpolar bear cult that there's still scattered evidence for from groups as far away as the ainu, but I don't know how solid that is.

The case of Uralic vs. PBS + PGerm can be explained by interaction, but the Ainu doing the same is interesting.
