𐎱𐎢𐎫𐎠𐎹𐎠
Old Persian
Etymology
Ultimately from Egyptian
(pyt, “Libya”),[1] from earlier pwd.[2] Compare with Demotic
(tꜣ pywdj) Coptic ⲫⲁⲓⲁⲧ (phaiat) and ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲧ (paiet).
Either independently derived or potentially via Neo-Babylonian 𒁍𒌑𒂅 (pu-ú-ṭu /Pūṭu/) and Late Babylonian 𒁍𒌑𒁕 (pu-ú-ṭa /Pūṭa/), 𒁍𒁕𒀀𒀀 (pu-ṭa-a-a /Puṭā/), which are not from Old Persian, but directly from Egyptian themselves.
