Upe

Etymology

[edit]

In principle, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *apē-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ep-, *h₂op- ((flowing) water, river). Cognates include Lithuanian ùpė, dialectal ũpė, upìs, ùpis, Old Prussian ape (river), apus ((water) well), Sudovian upa (river), Hittite ẖap(a) (river), Sanskrit आपः (āpaḥ, water (plural)), Tocharian A, Tocharian B āp (water). The u in Latvian upe (and Lithuanian upė), instead of the expected a, as in the Old Prussian cognate, is difficult to explain. Some suggest that upe was influenced by other words (e.g., Old Prussian wupyan (cloud)), others that it is not cognate with Old Prussian ape, but rather a reflex of Proto-Indo-European *eup-, *ūp-, *up- (to call, to cry, to yell), or then a specific Eastern Baltic word without a Proto-Indo-European etymology.[1]
