• πέτρη(pétrē) —Epic, Ionic

Unknown; in the absence of an explanation, Beekes prefers aPre-Greek borrowing, noting thatMeier-Brügger's derivation from aProto-Indo-European*per-trom(“instrument for getting through”) (from*per-(“to go through, fare”) +‎*-trom(“instrument suffix”)) is semantically implausible.^[1] Not related toHindiपत्थर(patthar,“stone”), which is composed of Indo-European elements.
