Is there a known Amazigh etymon for the ethnonym Pyd "Libya(n)" first attested in Egyptian sources from the 22nd Dynasty (Coptic: ⲡⲁⲓⲁⲧ/ⲫⲁⲓⲁⲧ)? The same word is attested in Old Persian Putāya, and Hebrew Pūṭ. The TLA suggest a connection with Egyptian root √pḏ "to stretch" https://tla.digital/lemma/881117
