Specht Ursprung 157 a. 164). Far remain both πταίω (s.v.) and Lat. pĭlus `hair' and vespertīliō `bat' (s. W.-Hofmann s.v.). -- On Dor. ψίλον (Paus. 3, 19,6) s. Bechtel Dial. 2, 319f. -- Furnée 263 takes πτίλον - ψίλον as evidence for a Pre-Greek word. He adds to the cognate forms also Lat. pilus. An IE * pth₂-ilo- does not seem convincing.Page in Frisk: 2,614Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πτίλον
