Proto-Uralic[edit]
Reconstruction[edit]
Reconstructed as *appe in frameworks that do not accept the vowel *ë.
Noun[edit]
*ëppe
- father-in-law (likely wife's father, as per Mansi and Khanty)
Usage notes[edit]
The term is reflected more widely and reconstructed more reliably than terms for "father", which has been taken to suggest a matrilocal organization of Proto-Uralic society.
