Proto-Slavic
    
    Etymology
    
Formed as *pěti (“to sing”) + *-ьlъ, with preserved -t- from the infinitive. Of onomatopoeic nature, just like Proto-Slavic *kokotъ (from ko-ko!) and Proto-Slavic *kurъ (from ku-ku!). In parallel to this form, some daughter languages employ the duals *pěvьnь (in Ukrainian/Belarusian), *pětuxъ (in Russian), *pětelìnъ[1] (in Slovene).
Alternative forms
    
- *pěvьnь m
