*puttaz

Runic: ᛈᚢᛏᚨᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈput.tɑz/

noun · masculine · a-stem

Meanings

pot, jar, tub

Etymology

Of uncertain origin. Orel considers the word as cognate to or possibly borrowed from Latin buttis (‘barrel’). An older theory by Petersson derives the word from Pre-Germanic *butnós or *budnós (‘a kind of vessel, swelled-out shape’), from Proto-Indo-European *bewd- (‘to swell’), possibly cognate to Proto-Slavic *bъdьňa (‘tub, cask’) (if not a borrowing from Germanic); compare also Old Armenian պոյտն (poytn, ‘pot, earthen pot’).
