This isn't exactly urgent, but does anybody happen to have any idea as to the origin of the Spanish word "pequeño" and all of its Iberian correspondents? I've read in many places that their source is unclear, but no sources seem to even suggest any potential connections, and they do seem vaguely connected to many CL words that would evoke a small stature or amount, such as "paucus" (though this would already seem to be the precursor to that group of cognates represented in Castilian by "poco"), or, even less practically speaking, "parvus."
