Reconstruction:Proto-Italic/djous patēr
Proto-Italic
editEtymology
editFrom *djous + *patēr, corresponding to Proto-Indo-European *dyḗws ph₂tḗr. Cognate with Vedic Sanskrit द्यौष्पितृ (dyáuṣ-pitṛ́).
Proper noun
edit- Jupiter, the Sky Father
Declension
editThe attestation of the Umbrian dative 𐌉𐌖𐌅𐌄𐌐𐌀𐌕𐌓𐌄 (iuvepatre), with both parts inflected separately, suggests that the two parts were still morphologically distinct. See the declensions of *djous and *patēr.
