[Moeller] this name appears just at Dioscoride.In other translations I see =
is wrotten "pthitho pthethela".

[Moeller] in the romanic point of view ies, this is supposed to be. Butthe =
romanic dont like the aspect of dacian beeing in the same group withthe P-it=
alic languages and P celtic languages. There is still the ideea dacian shoul=
d be a satem dialect but for this I will post a separate mesage.You just hav=
e to take a look at some dacian words like sala=solt, apa=water, mare=meer, =
petro=stone and so on...

About fata beeing a feminin of foetus i have just my doubt. The semantic he=
re is far away.We have in romanian "fa:t" which indeed semantic means "foetu=
s" but has nothing to do with fata=girl. And we have the verb "fa:ta" which =
is used for animals when they
get puppies."ca:tseaua fa:ta" meaning "the bitch gives birth to.."
This is why I am afraid that lat. feata did not gave rom. fata=girl.
