Yes, pita in Bulgarian means flat bread. It is an old word. In
the "rubbish" there is a parallel from Greek (phtta) and from Pashto
(pit).

Btw. on bulg. hubav "gut, schön" (a very common word), from Pokorny:

uridg. *su-bhago

> ai. su- (subhaga "beglückend")

> av. hu- (hubaga "gutes Eheglück gewährend")

It is "hub" in Pashto and Farsi.
