Footnotes

1. ^

   Latin pavo: "peafowl" from Greek ταώς taṓs, the v is just an epenthetic glide between the a and o. The change from t to p was probably a modification by association with the Latin onomatopoeia for a peacock's cry pau (paupulare: "to cry, as of a peacock")

2. ^

   The dance "the Pavane" is probably originally unrelated, most likely being a version of "Paduan", but it was later re-interpreted as meaning "peacock" resulting in the dance becoming more and more peacock-inspired.

3. ^

   Hawaiʻian pīkake refers to both peacocks and Arabian jasmine flower; both were imported around the same time and were associated with Princess Kaʻiulani (the heir apparent to Queen Liliʻuokalani at the time of the overthrow of the Kingdom Of Hawaiʻi).

4. ^

   Manchu ᡨᠣᠵᡳᠨ tojin: "peafowl, peacock" has to be a relatively recent borrowing, or the t-j sequence would have become s-j (cf. sunja from Proto-Tungusic *tunga: "five")
