References
  • Beekes, Robert: 1181-1182
    S.v. πέτομαι 'to fly', derived from PIE *pet- 'fall' (cf. Lat. petō 'make for, reach', MW ehedec 'to fly', OIr. én, W. edn 'bird'; Hitt. pattai-/patti- 'run, fly', Skt. pátati 'to fly, fall', etc.).
  • Kloekhorst, Alwin: 655-660
    S.v. pattai-/patti- 'to run, to race; to flee; to fly' (cf. Skt. pátati 'to fly', Gk. πέτομαι 'to fly', etc.). To account for the Anatolian forms Kloekhorst reconstructs PIE pre-forms *pth₁-ói-ei / *pth₁-i-énti.
  • Kümmel, Martin Joachim:
    Now s.v. *pet-, merging earlier *peth₁- and *peth₂- in the published version of LIV².
  • Martirosyan, Hrach: 286-287, 294
    S.v. Arm. *tʻiṙ- 'to fly', derived from the same root as *tʻer 'leaf, etc.' < PIE *pter-, probably a derivative of PIE *pet- 'to fly' (cf. Gk. πτερόν 'feather', πτέρυξ 'wing of a bird', πέτομαι 'to fly', etc').
  • Matasović, Ranko: 129
    S.v. Proto-Celtic *fet-o- 'fly', from PIE *pet- 'fly' (Middle Welsh ehedec < *exs-fet-o-).
  • Mayrhofer, Manfred: II:71-72
    Cf. s.v. Ved. √pat-¹ 'dahinschließend fliegen, stürzen, fallen', from PIE *pet- (cf. Gk. πέτομαι 'fliege', Lat. petō 'eile, begebe mich wohin' Old Welsh hedant 'volant', Hitt. pít-ti-i̯a-an-zi 'sie laufen', etc.).
  • Rix, Helmut: 476
    Cf. s.v. *peth₂- 'fliegen' (IEW 825-6). See now in LIV² Addenda and Corrigenda that the roots *peth₁- and *peth₂- are collapsed into *pet-.
