Origin: IE [Indo-European] [cf. 842] * peh₂-u- `few, little'

Etymology: From the disyll. πάϊς (on Hom. Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1,29) appears an orig. *παϜ-ι-δ-; 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. παῦς (vase inscr.) and in the Cypr. gen. Φιλό-παϜ-ος; uncertain Cypr. διπας, = δί-παις ? A parallel enlargement shows παῦρος; s.v. w. further combinations. Outside Greek we can compare first the first element in Lat. pau-per, if from *pau̯(o)- par-o-s `acquiring little' (basis doubted; s. W.-Hofmann s.v.); IE *pau̯o- is supposed also in Germ., e.g. Goth. faw-ai pl. `few'. -- Beside pau- (IE *ph₂u̯-?) stands perh. with lengthened grade πῶλος (s.v.) [hardly possible]; with zero grade Lat. puer (innovation after gener, socer; Risch Μνήμης χάριν 2, 109 ff.), thus, with old tlo-suffix, Ital., e.g. Osc. puklum `filium', Skt. putrá-, Av. puʮra-'son'. -- Further forms w. lit. in WP. 2, 75f.
