Grammatical information: f.Derivatives: πηνίον, Dor. πᾱν-, n. `spool with the thread reeled around it' (Ψ 762, Thphr., AP), also metaph. of a kind of puppet (Ar. Fr. 377, Arist.); Πηνῖτις (Πᾱν-), - ίτιδος f. "weaveress", surn. of Athena (Ael., AP), Πανίτης m. name of a Messenian (Hdt.; Redard 193 a. 211). Denominat. πηνίζομαι, Dor. πανί-σδομαι (Theoc.), also w. ἀνα-, ἀπο-, ἐκ-, `to reel, to reel off, from' (com., Arist., Thphr.) with πήνισμα n. `reeled wool' (Ar. Ra. 1315 [parody of A. ], AP.).Etymology: With πήνη, πῆνος are compared since Curtius and Fick some Lat. and Germ. words for `(piece of) cloth, piece': Lat. pannus (- nn- expressive?), Goth. OE fana, OHG fano m., NHG Fahne, all with IE a (Germ. also IE ŏ) against ā in πήνη. As already the relations between pannus and the Germ. ords because of the form has been doubted (Ernout-Meillet), the connection with πήνη because of the also deviating meaning seems still more doubtful. Further connection with the verb for `spin' (s. πένομαι) is also quite hypothetic. -- Rich lit. and numerous details in WP. 2, 5, Pok. 788, W.-Hofmann s. pannus; cf. also Vasmer Russ.et.Wb. s. opóna.Page in Frisk: 2,529-530Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πήνη
