πŒπŒ“πŒ–πŒπŒ–πŒŠπŒ‰πŒƒ

Oscan

Etymology

Uncertain.

Perhaps from Proto-Italic *prō-pak-iΜ―o-m, itself from Proto-Indo-European *pehβ‚‚αΈ±-. First element πŒπŒ“πŒ–- (pru-), from Proto-Italic *pro-, from Proto-Indo-European *pro-. According to Buck, the preposition may at times have the temporal meaning 'before' like Latin prae- or ante-.

Buck[1] and Undertmann[2] suggest medial vowel weakening of a > u after a labial. Compare πŒπŒ“πŒ€πŒ„πŒšπŒ–πŒŠπŒ–πŒ” (praefukus), from Proto-Italic *praifakjō.

The ablative ending -id, possibly from a dialect[3] form of -ud, by analogy from the third declension accusative -im.[4]

Cognate with Latin pāctum perfect passive participle of Latin pangō and Latin pāx.
