Cognate Set 4981 – Meaning: smoke

IE-CoR reference form:
*peu̯s-
IE-CoR reference language:
Proto-Indo-European
Ideophonic:
no
Parallel derivation:
no
Justification:
Most of the Slavic etymology dictionaries assume a PIE root *peu̯- 'blow' with extentions or additional morphemes in Slavic lexemes with the meanings 'blow' (*peu̯-s-, e.g. Serbo-Croat puhati), 'dust' (*peu̯-s-, e.g. Kashubian pich; **peu̯-l-, e.g. Polish pył) and 'swell' (*peu̯-s-, e.g. Polish puchnąć). As cognates lexemes like Sanskrit púṣyati 'thrive, flourish', Lithuanian pũsti, pučiù 'blow' or Greek φυ̃σα 'blowing' are listed. In the modern reference sources roots like ?*peu̯s- or ?*peu̯t- are assumed. Note that Lithuanian pũsti, pučiù 'blow' has been judged as isolated Smoczyński 2007 and Greek φυ̃σα 'blowing' as obscure with a hardly identifiable root or even Pre-Greek Beekes 2010.

References
  • Derksen, Rick: 423-424
    Proto-Slavic *puxati, cf. *puxnǫti 'swell'. Derksen considers Proto-Slavic *pux- with PIE *peu̯s- (cf. Skt. púṣyati 'thrive, flourish'). [Cf. LIV² 303-304 s.v. ?*h₃peu̯s-, without Slavic cognates listed.].
  • Georgiev, V. and Račeva, M. and Todorov, T. and Durdianov, I.: 6: 14, 18
    Bulgarian pušek is related to PS *pušiti, *puxati. PIE *peu̯s-, *pus-, *p(ʰ)ŭ-.
  • Kümmel, Martin Joachim:
    "Gr. ὀπυίω besser mit J. Katz (Vortrag Kopenhagen Okt. 2009) mit ved. vapuṣyá- zu vergleichen (vgl. unten zu *u̯ep-), womit die Grundlage für den Ansatz von *h₃ entfällt (und die Reduplikation von ved. pupóṣa auch diachron völlig regulär wird)." Discounting Gk. ὀπυίω as cognate, reconstruction of initial *h₃- to the root is superfluous.
  • Rix, Helmut: 303-304
    S.v. ?*(h₃)peus- 'sich mehren, reich werden an' (IEW 848). Slavic forms not connected by LIV².
  • Snoj, Marko:
    PS *puxati, derived from an ideophonic PIE root *p(ʰ)eu̯s-. It is related to Lithuanian pū̃sti, Latvian pùst, probably also to Greek phȳ̃sa, phȳsáō.
