Pfu from pondo (indecl.), ‘pound’ (not from pondus, ‘weight’).  ,, ‘to bungle, botch,’ only, of obscure origin. Allied to the  bousiller?.  ,, ‘puddle, slough,’ from pfütze, , ‘pool, puddle, well,’   pfuzzi, pfuzza , buzza, ; corresponding to  putti, ‘well,’  put, ‘well, puddle,’  pytt, ‘well, pit,’  pit. The permutation of t to zz, and the diffusion of the word throughout West, proves the existence of the cognates in Germany in the 6th or 7th ; yet  buzza seems to be a recently borrowed term. The word is based on puteus, ‘well, cistern,’ whence also  pozzo, ‘draw-well,’ pozza, ‘puddle, pool,’  puits, ‘well’; likewise  cuithe,  peten, ‘well.’   ', ',, ‘grudge, pique,’ only; formed from  and  pik, ‘grudge, anger, hate,’ which is derived from  pique, ‘pike; grudge, pique’ (  picca, ‘pike, pique’).

See.  ,,   to  to pick,  pican, ‘to pick’ ( pike comes from  pîc).  ,, ‘peaked helmet’; (13th ) beckenhûbe (also beckelhûbe), , ‘peaked helmet,’ allied to ;  bacinetum, bacilletum, ‘helmet,’ whence also  bacinetto, ‘flat helmet, morion,’ is named from the  basin shape of the helmet.   ,, ‘merry-andrew, buffoon,’ borrowed in the beginning of the 17th from  pickle-herring, a term introduced by the English comedians into Germany.   ,, ‘picnic,’ only, formed from  pique-nique, whence also  picnic. The origin of the word has not yet, however, been definitely established.  ,, ‘to pipe, pip, chirp,’ from piepen, which, like  pipare, is an onomatopoetic form;  the   to peep,  πιππίζειν,  pépier,  pipillare,  pýpti, Czech pípati.  ,, and in an elevated antiquated style , ‘pilgrim,’ from pilgrîn, bilegrîm (, from  pilgrî), ,  piligrîm, , ‘pilgrim,’ formed from  peregrînus. From is derived  pilgrim. The change of  r and n into  l and m is similar to that in ; the l in this word is found also in ;   pélerin,  pellegrino, ‘pilgrim’; in Italy, and  in Rome, the change of meaning; from ‘foreigner’ to ‘pilgrim’ was easily suggested. The word was borrowed by in the 9th, and by  in the 12th.   ,, from the  pillele, , ‘pill’; formed from  pilule,  pilula ( pillola). <section end="Pille" /> <section begin="Pilot" /> ,, ‘pilot,’ from pilote, probably through the medium of  piloot; the ultimate source is said to be  πηδόν, ‘rudder.’ <section end="Pilot" /> <section begin="Pilz" /> ,, ‘mushroom, fungus,’ from the  büleȥ (bülȥ),  buliȥ ( i for ü is  and , as in ); a specifically  loan-word (  bülte) from  bôlêtus ( βωλίτης), ‘mushroom’; probably naturalised in  before the 7th , as may be inferred from the permutation of t to z (for  ê, represented by  î and ĭ   and ). Its rare occurrence in (Grisons bulieu,  bolet, Vosges bulo) supports the very early adoption of the word in. <section end="Pilz" /> <section begin="Pimpernelle" /> ,, ‘pimpernel,’ only, formed from  pimprenelle ( pimpinella);  has the corrupt forms bibenelle, bibernelle. <section end="Pimpernelle" /> <section begin="Pinn" /> ,, ‘peg, pin,’ from and  pin (  pinne,  pin); from  and  pinna. <section end="Pinn" /> <section begin="Pinsel" /> ,, from the  pënsel, bensel , pinsel, , ‘painter's brush’; formed from  pinsellus from penicillus, ‘little tail,’ whence also the   pinceau. <section end="Pinsel" /> <section begin="Pips" /> ,, ‘pip,’ a and  form for the earlier  , from  and  pfiffī̆z pfiffī̆ȥ, pfipfī̆ȥ, , ‘pip’ (horny pellicle on the tip of a fowl's tongue). Borrowed at the beginning of the period or earlier (perhaps contemporaneously with  and ?) from  pipita, whence also  pipita,  pépie; likewise  and  pip.
