Origin: IE [Indo-European] [592] *ḱu̯eh₂- `swell'(?)

Etymology: From τὰ ππάματα (Boeot.), Γυνό-ππαστος a.o. appears an orig. IE *ḱu̯, from where - ππ- (cf. ἵππος), anlaut. π- (from there πέ-παμαι etc.). So πέ-πᾱ-μαι, πά̄-σασθαι, πά̄-σομαι with monosyll. full grade (IE *ḱu̯ā-) as in μέ-μνη-μαι, (Dor. -μνᾱ-), μνή-σασθαι, μνή-σομαι. To the perfect of the situation reached and to the ingressive aorist came quite isolated the reduplicated pres. ἐμ-πι-πά-σκομαι like μιμνήσκομαι (cf. Kretschmer Glotta 4, 320). -- An exact non-Greek agreement is not known. As beside μέμνημαι there is the noun μένος, one might reconstruct beside πέπᾱμαι a noun *κέϜος, which is found in Skt. as śávas- n. `strength, power, superiority'. To the nouns πά̄-τωρ, πᾱ-τήρ OInd. has an agreement in the themat. śvā-tr-á- `thriving, powerful', n. `strength, strengthening'. The zero grade ḱū- which correponds with IE ḱu̯ā is found in ἄ-κῦ-ρ-ος, κύ̄-ρ-ιος `lord, possessor'; s. v. w. further references. The group πέπᾱμαι a. cognates has developed formally and semantically independently ('have power over' = `be lord, possess'); details in Brugmann Totalität 60ff., Persson Beitr. 1, 192ff. against J. Schmidt Pluralbild. 411f., who like Hoffmann Dial. 2, 503, Kretschmer KZ 31, 424 a. o. wanted to identify πέπᾱμαι with Ion. Att. ἔκτημαι, κέκτημαι (s. κτάομαι). -- (Not here πᾶς, s. v.).
