Russian
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]- пѣту́хъ (pětúx) — Pre-reform orthography (1918)
Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Proto-Slavic *pětuxъ. By surface analysis, петь (petʹ) + -ух (-ux), said to have been influenced by Пе́тя (Pétja), diminutive of Пётр (Pjotr). Related to петь (petʹ, “to sing”). Compare пе́вень (pévenʹ), Ukrainian пі́вень (pívenʹ), Belarusian пе́вень (pjévjenʹ), Bulgarian пете́л (petél), Macedonian петел (petel), Serbo-Croatian pijétao, pijévac, Slovene petêlin, pẹ́təł. Compare also Polish piać (“to crow”), which is cognate with петь (petʹ). Likewise Latin canere means both “to sing” and “to crow”. Also compare with Proto-Germanic *hanô (“rooster, cock”), Proto-Germanic *hanjō (“hen”) (whence English hen) ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *keh₂n- (“to sing”).
