Upe

Etymology

In principle, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Baltic *apē-, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *h₂ep-, *h₂op-, *h₂op (“(flowing) water, river”). Cognates include Lithuanian ùpė, dialectal ũpė, upìs, ùpis, Old Prussian ape (“river”), apus (“(water) well”), Sudovian upa (“river”), (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Hittite ẖap(a) (“river”), Sanskrit आपः (āpaḥ, “water (plural)”), (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Tocharian A, (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Tocharian B āp (“water”). The u in Latvian upe (and Lithuanian upė), instead of the expected a, as in the (deprecated template usage) [etyl] 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 (deprecated template usage) [etyl] 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.
