+ It is [[af|la|pampinus|-eus|t1=vine shoot]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) The origin of [[m|la|pampinus]] is unclear: the OLD tentatively compares [[grc|ἄμπελος|tr=ámpelos|t=vine]],^(OLD 2012) while Pokorny connects it with a root meaning “to swell”, as in [[lt|pampti|t=to swell up]].^(Wiktionary)^(Köbler 2010)
