Etymology

    From *djous + *patēr, corresponding to Proto-Indo-European *dyḗws ph₂tḗr. Cognate with Vedic Sanskrit द्यौष्पितृ (dyáuṣ-pitṛ́).

    Proper noun

    *djous patēr m

    1. Jupiter, the Sky Father

    Declension

    The attestation of the Umbrian dative 𐌉𐌖𐌅𐌄𐌐𐌀𐌕𐌓𐌄 (iuvepatre), with both parts inflected separately, suggests that the two parts were still morphologically distinct. See the declensions of *djous and *patēr.
