Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *aboˀ (both), alongside Latvian abi, Old Prussian abāi, and Proto-Slavic *oba. Frequently linked with Sanskrit उभ (ubhá-), Gothic 𐌱𐌰𐌹 (bai). Due to the anlaut of these words, a connection with Latin ambo (both) and Ancient Greek ἄμφω (ámphō, both, facing), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂n̥tbʰóh₁ (on both sides) has proven problematic. See also Proto-Indo-European *h₂entí.[1]
