Following Jasasoff, usually claimed to be from earlier *h₂n̥t-bʰi, a petrified variant of the instrumental plural *h₂n̥t-mís of *h₂ént-s(“forehead, front”). Compare *h₂m̥-bʰ-óh₁(“both”).
However, as the semantic development of "with foreheads" to "around" is questionable, Dunkel instead derives *án-bʰi(“around”) from *án(“on the other side”) + *-bʰi(adverbial locative suffix).
