Etymology 1

From Proto-Italic *iðei or Proto-Italic *ifei with iambic shortening, from the pronominal stem Proto-Indo-European *éy, whence also is. In the first case cognate to Sanskrit इह (iha, “here”), (from Proto-Indo-Aryan *Hidʰá (“here”)), Avestan 𐬌𐬛𐬁 (idā, “here, in the same way”), Proto-Slavic *jьde, in the latter recalls the ins.pl. suffix *-bʰi. The same suffix is present in ubi ~ ubī.

Note: This amalgamation of terms comes from a number of different academic papers focused on the unique varieties and languages spoken in the Yoruboid dialectal continuum which extends from eastern Togo to southern Nigeria. The terms for spoken varieties, now deemed dialects of Yorùbá in Nigeria (i.e. Southeast Yorùbá, Northwest Yorùbá, Central Yorùbá, and Northeast Yorùbá), have converged with those of Standard Yorùbá leading to the creation of what can be labeled Common Yorùbá (Funṣọ Akere, 1977). It can be assumed that the Standard Yorùbá term can also be used in most Nigerian varieties alongside native terms, especially amongst younger speakers. This does not apply to the other Nigerian Yoruboid languages of Ìṣẹkírì and Olùkùmi, nor the Èdè Languages of Benin and Togo.
