Upe
Etymology
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.
