Empanda
In ancient Roman religion, Empanda or Panda was a goddess, or possibly an epithet of Juno. Festus identifies her only as a ''dea paganorum'', "goddess of the rustics." Varro associates her with Ceres, and notes that there is a Roman gate named after her, the ''Porta Pandana''. A similarly named gate is mentioned in the Umbrian Iguvine Tablets (VIa 14): ''pertome Padellar''. Varro connects the word with ''pandere'', "to open," but also explains it by ''panem dare'', "to give bread," so that Empanda would be the goddess of bread or food. Modern scholarship associates the Latin Empanda with the Oscan Patanaí (in the dative singular), and the Umbrian ''Padellar'' (<*''Padenla:s'' < *''Patnla:s'' < *''Patnola:s''), with Latin ''-nd-'' regularly from ''*-tn-'', and Oscan regular vowel insertion to break up consonant clusters. All are ultimately related to not only ''pando/pandere'', but also to Latin ''pateo'' "I open" and ultimately from a Proto-Indo-European root ''*peth₂-'' "to ...
