Reconstruction:Proto-Italic/djous patēr
Proto-Italic edit
Etymology edit
From *djous + *patēr, corresponding to Proto-Indo-European *dyḗws ph₂tḗr. Cognate with Vedic Sanskrit द्यौष्पितृ (dyáuṣ-pitṛ́).
Proper noun edit
- Jupiter, the Sky Father
Declension edit
The 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.
