Etymology 1
Ultimately Proto-Semitic *pV(y)- (“in, at, or about a place or time; to be in with, to be among, during”) possibly related to Proto-Semitic *pay- (“mouth, an orifice, an entrance, a means in or to enter”). Cognates with Hebrew פֹּה (“here”) and פִּי (“multiplied, -fold”, literally “with, to have this length with this width”) and Ugaritic 𐎔 (p, “here, in this place or in this time; in the manner of, relating or pertaining to”).
