Origin: IE [Indo-European] [824] * peth₂- `spread out'

Etymology: The pair πετά-σαι: πίτ-νη-μι agrees a.o. with κερά-σαι: κίρ-νη-μι, πελά-σασθαι: πίλ-να-μαι (s. vv.); to this πέ-πτᾰ-μαι (with short vowel from -h₂, Schwyzer 770 w. n. 6); after πετά-σαι the present πετά-ννυμι etc. (like κερά-σαι: κερά-ννυμι a.o.). -- Without direct agreement outside Greek but with several cognates. With redced a-vowel intr. Lat. pateō, - ēre `stand open', with patulus `spread out broadly'; perhaps also the nasal present pa-n-d-ō `spread out'. In other languages several verbal nouns, e.g. Av. paʮana- `wide, broad', Lith. petỹs m. `shoulder, arm-pit', Germ., e.g. OWNo. faðmr m. prop. *'extension (of the arms)', `embrace, bosom'. With l-suffix like πέτα-λον OHG fedel-gold n. `leaf-gold'. Further connections w. rich lit. in W.-Hofmann s. pateō and pandō, Fraenkel s. petỹs; also WP. 2, 18 u. Pok. 824. -- Prob. not here πατάνη. l

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [801] * pelh₂- `push'

Etymology: No certain agreement outside Greek. After Lobeck in Curtius 278 orig. "striking against (anstoßend)" (cf. ἴκταρ with several meaning parallels); further to Lat. pellō `push', Celt., e.g. OIr. ad-ella (\< * pel-nā-t = Lat. appellat) `visits', fut. eblaid \< * pi-plā-seti `will drive' (Froehde BB. 3, 308 resp. Vendryes MSL 16, 301 f.). Traces of this more concrete meaning can perh. still be found in expressions like πέλασε χθονί `threw to the ground', ὀδύνησι πελάζειν `sink in sorrow'; also in τειχεσι-πλῆτα as surn. of Ares ("wall-stormer ?). So πέλας as old nom. (- acc.; Schwyzer 516 n. 620) prop. "(first) push"; similar πλᾱτίον, πλησίον lengthened from an adverbial *πλᾱ-τ-ι (Schw. 621, 623)? The weakness of this in itself quite possible explanation lies in the absence of certain morphological criteria; the Celt. forms seem to agree in ablaut with the Greek ones (IE * pelh₂-, plā-); cf. OIr. adella `visits' and πλησιάζει `associates with'. Further forms w. lit. in WP. 2, 57f., Pok. 801 f., W.-Hofmann s. pellō. Vgl. πλήν, πλήσσω.
