Nachr. 1920, 248.<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [cf. 842] <b class="b2">*peh₂-u-</b> [[few]], [[little]]<br />Etymology: From the disyll. <b class="b3">πάϊς</b> (on Hom. Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1,29) appears an orig. <b class="b3">*παϜ-ι-δ-</b>; on the (dissimilatory?) loss of the F Schwyzer 260 w. lit., on the formation 465 a. 578. The unenlarged stem is still seen in Att. <b class="b3">παῦς</b> (vase inscr.) and in the Cypr. gen. <b class="b3">Φιλό-παϜ-ος</b>; uncertain Cypr. <b class="b3">διπας</b>, = <b class="b3">δί-παις</b> ? A parallel enlargement shows [[παῦρος]]; s.v. w. further combinations. Outside Greek we can compare first the first element in Lat. <b class="b2">pau-per</b>, if from <b class="b2">*pau̯(o)-par-o-s</b> <b class="b2">acquiring little</b> (basis doubted; s. W.-Hofmann s.v.); IE <b class="b2">*pau̯o-</b> is supposed also in Germ., e.g. Goth. <b class="b2">faw-ai</b> pl. [[few]]. -- Beside <b class="b2">pau-</b> (IE <b class="b2">*ph₂u̯-</b>?) stands perh. with lengthened grade [[πῶλος]] (s.v.) [hardly possible]; with zero grade Lat. [[puer]] (innovation after [[gener]], [[socer]]; Risch <b class="b3">Μνήμης χάριν</b> 2, 109 ff.), thus, with old <b class="b2">tlo-</b>suffix, Ital., e.g. Osc. [[puklum]] [[filium]], Skt. <b class="b2">putrá-</b>, Av. <b class="b2">puʮra-</b>'son'. -- Further forms w. lit. in WP. 2, 75f. (partly dated), Pok. 842 f., W.-Hofmann s. [[puer]], [[pullus]] and [[pauper]], Mayrhofer s. <b class="b2">putráḥ</b>; older lit. also in Bq.
