Etymology
Derived from *pupu- (“to saw”) + *-pūn. However, the expected form would be such *pu(b/p)upūn rather than *pūpūn. According to EDAL, the existing form reflect the verbal stem *pubu- and the derived noun *pubu-pu(n) (with some later confusion because of the loss of *-b-).
Almost all of the descendants obviously reflect *pūpūn or *pūbūn. There are also descendants who preserved the stem *pū-.
Compare also Proto-Nivkh [2] *puv- (“saw”) (Whence Nivkh пʼуф (pʼuf)), likely a Tungusic borrowing.
