pnyl
Middle Persian
Etymology
Ultimately from the Proto-Iranian verbal root *nayH- (“to churn butter”) with the preverb *pati-. The Iranian root is from Proto-Indo-Iranian *nayH- (“to churn butter”), from Proto-Indo-European *neyH- (“to make butter, churn”). Cognate with Sanskrit (नव-)नीत ((nava-)nīta, “fresh butter”); outside of Indo-Iranian, cognate with Latvian nīt (“used in sviestu nīt (to make butter)”) and paniņas (“buttermilk”).
