Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/piťa
Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Normally reconstructed as stemming from Proto-Indo-European *peyH-. Derksen considers it more likely to stem from Proto-Balto-Slavic *peit-, from Proto-Indo-European *peyt-, assumed to be from the same root *pey- that underlies *peyH- but with a different root extension. Cognates involving *peyt- include Lithuanian piẽtūs (“dinner”, pl.), Sanskrit पितु (pitú, “nutrition”), Avestan 𐬞𐬌𐬙𐬎 (pitu, “food”), 𐬞𐬌𐬚𐬎𐬎𐬁 (piθuuā, “food”), Old Irish ithid (“to eat”), Boeotian dialectal Ancient Greek πιτεύω (piteúō, “to irrigate, to water (cattle)”). Cognates involving *peyH- include Sanskrit पीवन् (pī́van, “fat”), English fat and many other words; see the root for more cognates.
