parina-⁽ⁱ⁾

The Palaic verb parina-⁽ⁱ⁾ ‘to blow’ is a verbal formation in -ina-⁽ⁱ⁾ of complex origin (see Sasseville 2021a:539-541). It can be interpreted as a derivative in -na-⁽ⁱ⁾ (< *-néH-/nH-´), based on a nominal i-stem or, even better in this case, on the verbal stem *pari(ya)-. Alternatively, it could be derived directly from the root verb with the reanalyzed suffix -ina-⁽ⁱ⁾. Taking the Hittite cognate parāi-/-i(ya)-^(ḫi) (CHD P:133f.) into consideration, the former interpretation becomes more attractive, so that one can posit as the base a non-attested Pal. verb *parāi-/-i(ya)-^(ḫi) ‘to blow’.

There is general agreement that the vowel of the initial sign pa- is mute, thus Hitt. pa-ra- stands for /pra-/ and Pal. pa-ri- stands for /pri-/, and taking into consideration the posited derivational base of Palaic parina-⁽ⁱ⁾ ‘to blow’ and Hittite parāi-/-i(ya)-^(ḫi), a root verb of the ḫi-conjugation for Proto-Anatolian can be reconstructed, i.e. *proh₁-/pr̥h₁- ‘to blow’. The root shape *preh₁- has been established already in the literature (see Oettinger 1979a:468f., Rieken 1999a:23, EDHIL:631, HEG P:438f.), and its secondary transfer to stems in -āi-/-i(ya)-^(ḫi), very likely of Proto-Anatolian date, is due to its root final *h₁ as argued in Sasseville 2021a:425-438 with further literature (although one should also compare the different views of Jasanoff 2003a:91-137 and Kloekhorst 2006c:114-116). Hittite also has a root noun parā- c. ‘blown air’ (see Rieken 1999a:23, EDHIL:630, HED PA:109), a fully reduplicated formation paripparāi-/-i(ya)-^(ḫi), as well as a more regular paprā-/-i(ya)-^(ḫi) (cf. Oettinger 1979a:468f., HEG P:438f., EDHIL:631f., Dempsey 2015a:121-126).

According to LIV²:489, PIE *preh₁- means ‘to blow, stoke (sth.)’.

Among the verbal stems formed to *preh₁-, Hitt. parāi-/-i(i̯a)-^(ḫi) is a formation in -āi-/-i(i̯a)-, which is reconstructed differently in the literature (cf. above sub Anatolian reconstruction and, e.g., LIV²:489, Oettinger 1979a:468f., EDHIL:631f.); for Pal. parina-ⁱ ‘to blow’, see above sub PAnat. reconstruction. Gk. πίμπρημι ‘to blow, stoke (sth.), burn (up)’ goes back to a reduplicated present stem *pi-preh₁-, with a secondary nasalization *pipreh₁- → *pimpreh₁- (LIV²:489). There is also a reduplicated present in Hittite: paprā-/-i(i̯a)-^(ḫi) ‘to blow (an instrument)’. A thematic stem *pr̥h₁-i̯e/o- seems to underlie Russ. (+) pret’, 1sg. préju ‘to heat up, sweat’ (LIV²:489). For further verbal and nominal stems formed to the root PIE *preh₁-, cf. LIV²:489 and IEW:809 s.v. 1.per-, respectively.
