Word Origin | Pandik, Pençe

Mavi Boncuk |
Pandik: Argot. pandik atmak: A type of sexual assault. Teasing by putting a hand (mostly the middle finger) on someones bottom. From GR pentíko πεντίκο beşli TR the hand by indication EN; oldGR pénte πέντε beş TR; five[1] EN. IndoEuropean penkwe.

Pençe: from Persian pance پنجه beşli olan her şey TR; anything in five numbers EN; el TR; hand EN;  özellikle yırtıcı kuş veya vahşi hayvan eli TR; paw[3], animal foot, claw[4], talon[5] of raptor birds from Persion panc پنج beş[2] TR; five EN.

[1] Five: Old English fif "five," from Proto-Germanic *fimfe (cognates: Old Frisian fif, Old Saxon fif, Dutch vijf, Old Norse fimm, Old High German funf, Gothic fimf), from PIE *penkwe- (cognates: Sanskrit panca, Greek pente, Latin quinque, Old Church Slavonic peti, Lithuanian penke, Old Welsh pimp). The sound shift that removed the *-m- is a regular development involving Old English, Old Frisian, and Old Saxon (as in thought, from stem of think; couth from *kunthaz; us from *uns). 

[2] panc: number five on dice in backgammon[*] game.
[*] 1640s, baggammon, the second element from Middle English gamen, ancestor of game; the first element apparently because pieces sometimes are forced to go "back." Known 13c.-17c. as tables.

[3] 1.paw (n.) c. 1300, from Old French powe, poe "paw, fist," of uncertain origin. Evidence points to a Gallo-Roman root form *pauta which probably is related to the source of patten. Pat:c. 1400, "a blow, stroke," perhaps originally imitative of the sound of patting. Meaning "light tap with hand" is from c. 1804. Sense of "that which is formed by patting" (as in pat of butter) is 1754, probably from the verb. Pat on the back in the figurative sense attested by 1804. 

2.paw (v.) "use the hands roughly," c. 1600, from paw (n.). Related: Pawed; pawing. Middle English had pawen "to touch or strike with the paw" (c. 1400). 

[4] 1.claw: (n.) Old English clawu, earlier clea, "claw, talon, iron hook," from Proto-Germanic *klawo (cognates: Old Frisian klawe "claw, hoe," Middle Dutch klouwe, Dutch klauw, Old High German klawa, German Klaue "claw"). Claw-foot in reference to furniture is from 1823; claw-and-ball attested from 1893. Claw-hammer attested from 1769. 

2.claw: (v.) Old English clawian "to scratch, claw," from the same root as claw (n.). Related: Clawed; clawing. Compare Dutch klaauwen, Old High German klawan, German klauen. To claw back"regain by great effort" is from 1953; as a noun, an act of this, from 1969. 

[5] talon: (n.) c. 1400, talounz "claws of a bird or beast," probably originally from Old French talon "heel or hinder part of the foot of a beast, or of a man, or of a shoe; foot-step" (12c.), from Medieval Latin talonem "heel," from Latin talus "ankle". "The extension to birds of prey, and subsequent stages, are peculiar to English" [OED].
