Etymology

Probably from Proto-Indo-European *pau-. Latin paucus ‎(“few, little”), pauper ‎(“poor”), paulus ‎(“small”), parvus ‎(“small”), Old Armenian փոքր ‎(pʿokʿr) and Old English fēaw (English few). However only Ancient Greek φαῦλος ‎(phaûlos) has the exact meaning, suggesting that probably both words have a common substrate origin and are not related to the PIE root.
