پنگان

See also: پنكان

Persian

Etymology

Presumed to be borrowed, alongside Ossetian фынг (fyng), фингӕ (fingæ, “table”),^[1] from Ancient Greek πίναξ (pínax), πίνακος (pínakos, “wooden plank, dish, writing table”),^[2] possibly via Classical Syriac ܦܝܢܟܐ (pinkā).^[3] Perhaps cognate with Sanskrit पिनाक (pínāka, “staff, stick”).^[4] Whereas according to Vinson this is all from a compound of Middle Chinese, Mandarin 瓫 (pén, “flat dish”)) and 盎 (àng, “wide-bellied bowl”) (perhaps instead 銀 / 银 (yín, “silver”), 案 (àn, “desk, table”)?), however not attested, so alternatively he suggests 平安 (píng'ān, “tranquil, safe”) printed onto Chinese household appliances like vases.^[5]
