      Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/pъvati
Proto-Slavic
    
    Etymology
    
According to Snoj, from *pъvъ + *-ati. Further etymology is uncertain.
Vasmer considers a possible relation with Lithuanian pū́ti (“to rot”), Latvian pūt (“to smell”), which ultimately descend from proto-Indo-European *pewH- (“to purify”), but qualifies it as questionable.
