Persian
Etymology
Considered a native word, cognate with the Sanskrit पिनाक (pínāka, “staff, stick”) and the Proto-Slavic *pь̏ňь (whence the Old Church Slavonic пьнь (pĭnĭ), the Russian пень (penʹ, “trunk, stub”)). Most Persian dictionaries say it is a loanwords from Ancient Greek πίναξ (pínax, “board, tablet, plate”) or Sanskrit पिनाक (pínāka, “staff, stick”) as the Proto-Indo-European relation between these languages wasn't known.
