πηγή

• πᾱγᾱ́ (pāgā́) — Doric

Uncertain. Based on the common semantic association between "wells" and the "cold", perhaps related to πήγνῡμῐ (pḗgnūmĭ, “to stiffen, freeze”), thus derived from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂ǵ- (“to coagulate, attach”), but no strong evidence exists for this interpretation. Alternatively, possibly Pre-Greek.^[1]
