The name of an Indo-European god of thunder or the oak may be reconstructed as '' *'' or '' *''. Another name for the thunder god contains an onomatopoeic root '' *'', continued in Gaulish ''Taranis'' and Hittite ''Tarhunt''. ==Derivatives== From IE *''perkṷu-'' "oak-tree": * Lithuanian Perkūnas, Latvian Pērkons, Old Prussian Perkūns, the god of thunder * * Finnish Perkele, Mordvinic Pur'gine-paz, borrowings from the Baltic languages * possible cognate Sanskrit Parjanya, the god of rainstorms and thunder * Thracian Περκων/Περκος, (Perkon/Perkos)〔Attested in Hellenistic dedications from Galata near Varna (ancient Odessos): IGBulg I2, 283, 283bis.〕 *With suffix ''-k-'' dropped via IE *''perō(ṷ)nos'' "thunder, Thunderer", possibly from a connection with *''perūn(V)'' "mountain, rock": * * Slavic Perun (Old Russian Перунъ, Belarusian Пярун, Polish Piorun, Czech Perun, Serbian Перун, Bulgarian Перун), the god of thunder * * possibly Albanian Perëndi, the god of thunder and storms〔In fact, the Albanian word is inseparable from ''perëndim'' "West, sunset", ''perëndoj'' "to set (about sun)", and isn't connected with this root, see: ''Орел В. Э.'' Исконная лексика албанского языка (Балканские этимологии. 6-13) // (Славянское и балканское языкознание: Проблемы лексикологии. М.: Наука, 1983. С. 151-152. )〕 * * possibly Hittite Pirwa, "the god on a horse", which associated with a rock * * possibly Greek ''keraunós'' "thunderbolt"〔Frisk, Greek Etymological Dictionary ()〕 Perkūnas' wife was named Perkūnija/Perkūnė/Perperuna/Przeginia.〔But most likely ''Przeginia'' (and ''Bereginya'') is a loan in Slavic from German *''fergunja'', see: ''Николаев С. Л., Страхов А. Б.'' К названию бога-громовержца в индоевропейских языках // (Балто-славянские исследования. 1985. М.: Наука, 1987. С. 152-158. )〕 Germanic '' *Þunraz'' (Þórr) is from a stem '' *'' "thunder",〔Simek (2007:332).〕 but the name '' *'' is continued in Fjörgyn, mother of Þórr. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perkwunos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
