• abudu

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *oboˀ (“both”), alongside Latvian abi, Old Prussian abāi and Proto-Slavic *oba. Frequently linked with Sanskrit उभ (ubhá-), Gothic 𐌱𐌰𐌹 (bai). Due to the anlaut of these words a connection with Latin ambo (“both”) and Ancient Greek ἀμφό (amphó, “both, facing”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂nt-bʰoh₁ (“on both sides”) has proven problematic. Cf. Proto-Indo-European *h₂entí.
