Ancient Greek

Etymology

An intensive reduplicated formation. It could be connected with πέτομαι (pétomai, “to fly”), assuming the image of a restless gaze, but this is hardly compelling. There is no good Indo-European etymology. Some Cypriot glosses from Hesychius have been connected, like ἰμπάταον (impátaon, “looked at”) and ἰνκαπάταον (inkapátaon), suggesting a Pre-Greek etymology.
