Etimologia (Anglès)

Uncertain. Pokorny compares Polish pupa (“bottom, rear”) and Ancient Greek πύματος (púmatos, “the last”), from a common Proto-Indo-European *pu (“turned away”), supposedly from or related to *apó (“away, off”), with uncertainties. (However, Pokorny did not consider that the Greek word could just as well reflect *pó-mn̥tos with Cowgill's law.) More information at Sanskrit पुनर् (púnar). Muss-Arnolt compares Hebrew בוב (būḇ, “to be hollow”).
