Etymology
[edit]Possibly a derivative of Proto-Italic *palwos, from Proto-Indo-European *pl̥H-wo- (“dark-colored, gray”), from *pelH- (“gray, pale”), owing to the color of the pigeon's plumage. Compare Ancient Greek πέλειᾰ (péleia, “rock pigeon”) and Old Prussian poalis (“pigeon”); see palleō (“to be pale”) for more potential cognates.[1] However, the suffix is unexplained and resembles that in Ancient Greek κολυμβῐ́ς (kolumbís, “diver, little grebe, pigeon”), which may point to substrate origin.
