|etymtx=Grammatical information: v.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">to look around, to glance at smth.</b> (Il.).<br />Other forms: Aor. <b class="b3">παπτῆναι</b> (<b class="b3">-ᾶναι</b> Pi.), fut. <b class="b3">-ανέω</b>.<br />Compounds: Rarely w. <b class="b3">ἀπο-</b>, <b class="b3">δια-</b>, <b class="b3">περι-</b>.<br />Derivatives: Besides <b class="b3">πεπτήνας περιβλεψάμενος</b> H. and, from cross with <b class="b3">παμφαλώμενος</b> (s. <b class="b3">παμφαλάω</b>), <b class="b3">παπταλώ-μενος</b> (Lyc.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: Intensive reduplicated formation <b class="b3">πα-πτ-αίνω</b> (to which analog. <b class="b3">-ανέω</b>, <b class="b3">-ῆναι</b>; Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 375). Since long (Legerlotz KZ 8, 417) connected with some Cypriot H.glosses: <b class="b3">ἰμπάταον ἔμβλεψον</b>. <b class="b3">Πάφιοι</b>, <b class="b3">ἰνκαπάταον ἐγκατάβλεψον</b>. The here found aor. <b class="b3">πατά-σαι</b> may also be seen in <b class="b3">καπατάς καθορῶν</b>. <b class="b3">παρὰ Εὔκλῳ</b> H. (cod. <b class="b3">κάπατας καθαρόν</b> ... <b class="b3">Εὑηλῶν</b>), if contracted from <b class="b3">*πατάσας</b> (Hoffmann Dial. 1, 118); diff. Bechtel Lex. 270 (with M. Schmidt): from pres. <b class="b3">*πάταμι</b>. The form <b class="b3">ἀνεπάταξεν ἐξ ὕπνου ἀνέβλεψεν</b>, which stands beside it, one is prepared to consider as, <b class="b2">elevate (the eyes)</b> and to connect with <b class="b3">πατάσσω</b>; here further <b class="b3">καπατᾶ κατακόψεις</b>. <b class="b3">Πάφιοι</b> H., prob. with Hoffmann l.c. from <b class="b3">*πατά-ω</b> [[beat]] (in <b class="b3">πάτα-γος</b>, <b class="b3">πατά-σσω</b>). Is also <b class="b3">πατά-σαι</b> [[glance]], and finally also <b class="b3">πα-πτ-αίνω</b> semantiscally to be connected? Or the last to <b class="b3">πέτομαι</b> from fluttering around of the look? - The word can hardly be IE.
