Proto-Basque: *pinpilin
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: butterfly
High Navarrese: pinpilin-pauxa, pinpilin-poxa
Lapurdian: pinpirin(a), pinpilin-pauxa
Comments: A worldwide reduplicated word for 'butterfly', but that does not exclude the Basque-NCaucasian cognacy. The second element -poxa, -pauxa resembles -posa in Spanish mariposa, thought by some to come from a nursery rhyme "Maria, posa ..." ('Mary, perch ...').
