Tocharian A[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Tocharian *epäst + the adjective-forming suffix *-ye- (whence also Tocharian B epastye). *epäst is likely a compound of Proto-Indo-European *h₁opi- (“upon, near”) and *steh₂- (“to stand”). Also, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *h₁opi-sth₂-i-, of the same meaning. Either way, cognates include Lithuanian apstus (“plentiful”), Sanskrit सुष्ठु (suṣṭhu, “aptly, well”).
