Abstract
The author proposes to bring the Old Abruzzese and Old Romanesco word "peta" back to a Longobard base «baida/paita», which survives in the Rhaeto-romance "peda" ‘Zeit, Weile’, a word he encountered by chance in an Engadinian translation dated 1560. The relative «etymological experience» confirms the teaching of G. Contini, according to which good etymologies are found, not sought for.File in questo prodotto:
