Olympia)? -- On [[ποταμός]] s. v.<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [825] <b class="b2">*petH-</b> [[fly]], [[fall]].<br />Etymology: The remarkable <b class="b3">σ</b> for <b class="b3">τ</b> in IA. <b class="b3">πεσέομαι</b>, <b class="b3">-οῦμαι</b> and <b class="b3">πεσεῖν</b> is secondary and not convincingly explained; cf. Schwyzer 271 Zus. 2 w. lit., 746 n. 6 and Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 451. -- The pair <b class="b3">πίπτω</b> (with [[ī]] after <b class="b3">ῥίπτω</b>?): <b class="b3">πετεῖν</b> agrees with <b class="b3">γίγνομαι</b> : <b class="b3">γενέσθαι</b>; to this the disyllabic fut. <b class="b3">πεσέ-ομαι</b> for <b class="b3">*πετέ-[σ]ομαι</b> and the full grades <b class="b3">πτω-</b>, <b class="b3">πτη-</b> in <b class="b3">πέ-πτω-κα</b>, <b class="b3">πτῶ-μα</b>, <b class="b3">-σις</b>, <b class="b3">πε-πτη-ώς</b> cannot be compared with <b class="b3">γενέ-τωρ</b>, <b class="b3">γνή-σιος</b> which has <b class="b2">*ǵenh₁-</b>, <b class="b2">ǵn̥h₁-</b> (not here <b class="b3">γνωτός</b>?; s. on <b class="b3">γίγνομαι</b>), s. Schwyzer 746, 784 a. 360. The origin of the alternative root forms is not well known. An innovation is <b class="b3">πίτ-νω</b> (<b class="b3">-νῶ</b>) with <b class="b3">ι</b> as in several <b class="b3">ν-</b>presents (Schwyzer 695). -- The whole system is a specific Greek development of the old verb also found in <b class="b3">πέτομαι</b> [[fly]]; the meaning [[fall]] is also found a.o. in Skt. <b class="b2">pátati</b>. A point of contact show the fut. <b class="b3">*πετέ-[σ]ομαι</b>: Skt. <b class="b2">pati-ṣyáti</b>; morpholog. close are also <b class="b3">πότμος</b> and Skt. <b class="b2">pát-man-</b> n. [[flight]], [[course]], [[path]] (would be Gr. <b class="b3">*πέτμα</b>). -- Further s. [[πέτομαι]]; cf. also [[πτήσσω]] and [[πίτυλος]] (which hardly belongs here).
