|ftr='''πέπων''': -ονος<br />{pépōn}<br />'''Forms''': m. f. (ion. att.; Hom. nur Vok. [[πέπον]], s.u.), f. auch [[πέπειρα]] (Anakr., Hp., S., Ar.) mit neuem m. [[πέπειρος]] (Hp., Thphr., [[LXX]] usw.); Komp. u. Superl. [[πεπαίτερος]], -τατος (nach [[πεπαίνω]] [Schwyzer 535]?), auch πεπειρότερος, -τατος (vgl. Leumann Mus. Helv. 2, 9f. = Kl. Schr. 223f.),<br />'''Meaning''': [[reif]], übertr. [[weich]], [[mild]].<br />'''Derivative''': Davon [[πεπαίνω]], Aor. [[πεπᾶναι]], -θῆναι mit -[[θήσομαι]], Perf. Inf. πεπάνθαι (Arist.), auch m. ἐκ-, κατα-, ὑπερ-, [[reif machen]], [[reifen]], übertr. [[erweichen]], [[lindern]], [[besänftigen]] (ion. att.) mit [[πέπανσις]] f. [[das Reifen]] (Arist. u.a.), -τικός [[reif machend]] (Hp., Dsk. u.a.); Rück- bildung [[πέπανος]] (-ός) [[reif]] (Paus., Artem. u.a.); πέπανα πλακούντια H. (= πόπανα, s. [[πέσσω]]).<br />'''Etymology''' : Alte Primärbildung mit ''n''-Suffix vom idg. Verb für [[kochen]], [[reif machen]] (s. [[πέσσω]]); somit wohl aus idg. *''peqʷ''-''on''-; vgl. zunächst [[πίων]] ([[πέπειρα]] jedenfalls nach [[πίειρα]]). Parallel damit geht die ''u̯o''-Bildung in aind. ''pak''-''vá''-, pasht. ''pox'' [[gekocht]], [[gar]], [[reif]]. An und für sich steht nichts im Wege, [[πέπων]], wenn aus *πέπϝων, damit direkt zu verbinden (zum Lautlichen vgl. Schwyzer 301). — Der ep. Vok. [[πέπον]] ‘Trauter, Lieber !’ (darüber Brunius-Nilsson Δαιμόνιε [Diss. Uppsala 1955] 55ff.) will Specht KZ 55, 18 f. von [[πέπων]] [[reif]] trennen und zu lit. ''pẽpinti'' [[verzärteln]] ziehen; ebenso über [[πεπαίνω]] im Sinn von [[erweichen]] Fraenkel Arch. Philol. 7, 21 ff.; alles von Fraenkel Wb. s. v. und s. ''paĩkas'' stark angezweifelt oder abgelehnt. —Weiteres s. [[πέσσω]].<br />'''Page''' 2,509-510
