• The two forms penna and pinna coexist in classical Latin, with the pe- spelling reflecting the phonetic evolution of the short Latin i.[1]
• Some say the two forms penna and pinna were originally two different nouns, the former from old pesna, petna (wing) from Proto-Indo-European *peth₂- (“to fly”), the latter for pitna (a sharp point, cf. Spanish peña and Portuguese penha).
