Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
From Proto-Celtic *abū, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eb- (“water”).
Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
aub f (genitive abae)
Declension edit
This term inflects irregularly, with the neuter n-stem declension interfering with many case forms, like in the genitive singular and dative plural. Due to this haphazard hybridization, many forms of the paradigm cannot be reconstructed with confidence.
