Old Japanese: putukum-

Middle Japanese: futuk-, fòtòfòr-, fùtùkùm-

Comments: JLTT 693, 695. OJ potopor- and putuk- are hard to separate; the vocalism in putuk- may have been influenced by putukurwo / put(w)ok(w)orwo 'breast' (or else the vocalism in potopor- may have been influenced by a homonymous potopor- 'to emit heat').
