• related to πένομαι (pénomai, “to toil”) (which apparently got generalized from some domestic work), Proto-Germanic *spinnaną (“to spin”), Proto-Balto-Slavic *pínˀtei > Lithuanian pìnti, Latvian pīt (“to twist, to weave, to plait”), Proto-Slavic *pęti (“to stretch”), possibly Old East Slavic понѧва (ponęva) / Russian поня́ва (ponjáva, “blanket”), Old Church Slavonic пукъ (pukŭ) > Russian пук (puk, “bunch, tuft”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pank-.
