325. pet = to fly, fall (Pei-199-201); pet I = rush, leap, fly, fall (JS-312).

That JS defines this root also as rush, is correct, because one of the DR. seed-words of this IE root is patapata (pata reduplicated) = to be overhasty (as in speech) [[rush]] (3842-Ta); pata-pat-enal = onom. expression signifying hurry (as in preparation for a journey) (Ta). It is noted by Pei that Greek pipto = to fall gave rise to ptoma = corpse, fallen body from which comes potomas = river, falling body of water which appears in the name of the ancient country Mesopotamia defined as the land between the rivers. Here, let us note that in DR. patu = falling, a fall (3852-Ka); patu = falling (Ma); patam = water (3906-Ta); pa.top = the river’s noise of waves beating [[note the connotation of river which is also connoted by Greek potomas and the name of the ancient country Mesopotamia]] (4318-To). Further in the context of falling, note that in DR. potu-pot-enal (potu reduplicated) = onom. expression signifying falling of fruits or stones one after another (4490-Ta); potupotu (potu reduplicated) = to fall (as stones one after another) (Ta).

In view of the fact that Pei states that pet produced Anglo-Saxon fether, which became feather in English, note the DR. seed-words puta = down of birds (4358-Ma); putga = feather (4278-Go). Note also that the derived word in Greek is pteron = feather, wing, and that in DR. putga not only denotes: feather, but wing (4278-Go). Pei also states that Greek pteryx is also used in such terms as hymenoptera, lepidoptera and other names of insects described by their wings. Here, note the other DR. seed-words potte = any winged insect (4518-Kol); potte = large flying insect (Nk); po.t = to teach (young) to fly. Note that one of the meanings of this root is fly. Here, note another DR. seed-word pata or patapata (pata reduplicated) denotes: sound imitating the flapping of wings [[note that the connotation of both flying and wing is denoted by this DR. seed-word]] (3841-Ka).

And also note that one of the derived Latin forms denote: to seek (Pei-201), and that in DR. patting denotes: to search for (3956-Br). The root is also defined as leap. Here, note the other DR. seed-word payttu = to leap (4087-Ta);

326. pet II = open out, spread out (JS-313).

The DR. seed-words with which this IE root is fused are patu = to spread out (3852-Ta); patar = to spread (as a creeper); overspread (as eruptions on the skin), spread (as light, fire, rumor, epidemic) (3844-Ta).

327. peter = father (JS-313-14).

The DR. seed-words of IE this root come not only denoting: father, but begetter. The seed-words per and pett- denote: to beget, bear (4422-Ka). In Tamil perravan denotes: father (4422-Ta), and its cognate (following per and pett-) pettavan denotes: father in Kannada. Note also that in Latin pario (parere) denotes: to bring forth, to bear (Ltc.424), and parens not only denotes: parent, but father, mother [[the begetters]] (Ltc.423). Here, note that in DR. pore = to nourish, support, preserve [[as a parent or father and mother do]] (4283-Ka); pura = to keep, preserve, protect (Ta); per = to beget, bear (4422-Ka); peru = birth, bringing forth (Ma); peru = to beget, bear (Ta); perv- = to be born (Ko); per- = to bear (child) (Kod); per = act of birth (To). Note also that in the same group 4422 there are other DR. forms such as pe.d- = to be born (4422-To); pedduni = to bear, bring forth (as a child) (Tu) pedikke = birth (Tu). Note here that Pei points out such IE forms as Italian padrone, Spannish and Italian padre etc.

328. peti = Imitative, baby talk for little things (JS-313-14).

This IE root is fused with DR. seed-words puta = small, smallness, littleness (4259-Ka); poti = that which is small (Ta); pitit = little (Pa). Note that this root occurs in such words as petty, petticoat, petite.

This root is fused with many DR. seed-words such as pag = to strike (4044-Pe); paga = to attack (Kui); paga = to attack, fight (4087-Kui) [[note that the derived Latin form pungare denotes: fight, first with fists (JS-315)]]; pogguni = to penetrate [[pierce]] (4238-Tu); poggavuni = to cause to pierce, penetrate (Tu).

331. peuor = fire (JS-315-16).
