Pre-Samnite
Etymology
Unknown.
- If interpreted as a noun referring to a vase, then the term may derive from the root Proto-Indo-European *pehβ-. Perhaps from a Proto-Indo-European form *pehβ-dΚ°lehβ, which would have yielded Proto-Italic *pΔΞ²lΔ, and then perhaps *pΔplΔ either via the assimilation of labials or through scribal error. If this analysis is accepted, the term may distantly relate to Latin pabulum
- It has also been connected to Latin papilla (βnipple, breastβ). If this theory is accepted, the term may mean something akin to "breast-shaped vase," which could itself be further interpreted as a satirical comparison between "drinking from the breast" and consuming wine.
- It may also be interpreted as a name that can be Latinized into "Papla."
Noun
ππππππ (paplam) f (accusative)
- The meaning of this term is uncertain. Possibilities include:
- vase (based on the root, it may more literally have meant "container or instrument of nature")
