Origin: IE [Indo-European] [797] *peḱ- `pluck, card'
Etymology: Identical with Lith. pešù, pèšti `pluck, pull out, drew by the hairs'; the τ-enlargement in πεκτ-έω also in Lat. pectō `comb, card'; formal = Gerrn., e.g. OHG fehtan 'fech-ten' (prop. *'pluck each other'?). The very rare πέκος agrees phonetically with Lat. pecus n. `cattle, small cattle, sheep', which would be therefore a concretized verbal abstract (Porzig Satzinhalte 292; also Specht KZ 66, 36f.). The old widespread u-stem in Lat. pecu n., Germ., e.g. OHG fihu n., Skt. páśu- n., -úḥ m. etc. `cattle' is wanting in Greek; on the other hand πόκος is isolated, so prob. innovation. IE o -vowel also in Arm. asr, gen. asu `sheepwool, fleece' (IE *poḱu-). OWNo. fær, OSwed. fār n. `sheep', often equated with πόκος, is uncertain. -- Orig. meaning prob. `pluck, card', from where `shear, comb' (diff. Peruzzi Par. del Pass. l.c. n. 3 against Specht KZ 68, 206). -- WP. 2, 16f., Pok. 797, W.-Hofmann s. pectō and pecū, Fraenkel s. pèšti `pluck' w. further forms a. rich lit.
