Ačaṙean, Hračʻeay (1979) “փետուր”, in Hayerēn armatakan baṙaran [Armenian Etymological Dictionary] (in Armenian), 2nd edition, a reprint of the original 1926–1935 seven-volume edition, volume IV, Yerevan: University Press, pages 498–499
Since long connected with the descendants of Proto-Indo-European*péth₂r̥(“wing; feather”), but Armenian is usually not considered to be inherited from the latter because of phonological problems (e.g. Proto-Indo-European*pe- would yield Old Armenianհե-(he-)). Ačaṙyan and J̌ahukyan imply, that we may be dealing with an early borrowing from some descendant of that Proto-Indo-European root, Ačaṙyan pointing specifically to Hittite𒁁𒋻n(pattar, “wing”), which should perhaps be read as pettar.
On the other hand, Martirosyan and Simon are more positive about the inheritance, Martirosyan reconstructing a nominative singular auslaut*-ōr with a question mark.
