Ade aþ (by gradation ôþ) is wanting; to it belong uodil,, ‘patrimony, home’ ( , from  Uodalrîch or , from Uodal-lant),  ôðil,  éðel, , ‘patrimony, home.’ Hence the fundamental idea of the  root aþ, by gradation ôþ (from Aryan ăt), seems to be ‘by transmission, inheritance.’ The aristocratic tinge evinced by the West  cognates is not remarkable when we consider the early period; only the patrician had a ‘family’; genealogies of nobles (in old documents) reach back to the  period; the names beginning with  are primitive, , influenced by  from  Adalfuns, Adalheid, Adalberaht, Adolf, from Atha-ulf; also the   Adalung. See too,.   ,, ‘vein,’ from âder,  âdara, , ‘vein, sinew,’ corresponding to  ader, ‘vein, sinew,’  ader,  œ̂dre, , ‘vein’ (rarely êðr),  aþra,  ådra; also without the  r,  œ̂ðr (the r is simply a  suffix), , ‘vein;’ the  cognate êþ is not found. The pre- êt- has been connected with ἥτορ, ‘heart,’ ἦτρον, ‘abdomen,’ and here it must be recollected that  and  âder in the  may signify ‘bowels.’   ,, ‘eagle,’ from adel-ar (also adel-arn), ; prop, a compound, ‘noble bird of prey.’ It is noteworthy that  in  is the nobler term, while  serves as the name for the species without any consciousness of its origin from  and. *adal-aro appears by chance not to be recorded. Corresponds to adelaar (besides arend).   ,, ‘to repeat,’ an word;  œferen,  afarôn. See under.   , suffix used to form names of rivers (, Eril-affa,,  Asc-affa), and of places ( in  and ,  ), allied to which -ep, p (also ), occurs as an unchanged  form, e.g. in. The base *apa is ( to  aqua, ‘water,’  ahwa, ‘river’).   ,, ‘ape, monkey,’ from the  affe,  affo, ; also in  the feminine forms affa, affin, affinna, ‘female ape.’ A word common to the  group, unrecorded by chance in  alone, in which, by inference from  ape,  apa,  ape (whence  and   apa),  aap, the form must have been *apa. Facts and not linguistic reasons lead to the conclusion that apan- is a primitive loanword with which opica,  opice, is connected, and through commercial intercourse reached the Teutons by some unknown route. On account of the assonance it is very often referred, without sufficient reason, to kapi ( κῆπος), ‘ape’; at all events, it is certain that no word for  common to the Aryan, or even to the West Aryan, group does exist.   ,, ‘apple-tree.’ See.   ,, ‘buttocks, backside,’ from after,  aftaro, , ‘fundament, anus’;  ‘the back part,’ from  after,  aftar, , ‘behind, following’; akin to  aftana, ‘from behind,’  after,  after ( and  achter),  aftra, ‘back, again.’ It is certainly allied to  afar, ‘behind,’ and the cognates discussed under. — in compounds is  ‘after,’ whence the idea of ‘counterfeit, baseness’;   aftersprâche, ‘slander, backbiting,’ afterwort, ‘calumny’; the older meaning, ‘after, behind,’ is preserved in , ,. Note too (even in the  period) aftermontag for ‘Tuesday.’ <section end="After" /> <section begin="Aglei" /> ,, from the  agleie,  ageleia, , ‘columbine,’ which is derived from  aquilegia, whence too the   ancolie,  akelei. <section end="Aglei" /> <section begin="Ahle" /> ,, from the  âle,  âla, , ‘cobbler’s awl.’ To this is allied the    ălunsa, ălansa, , (with the same suffix as );  alesna (Swiss alesne, alsne), whence the  cognates —  alesna,  lesina,  alêne, ‘awl,’ are borrowed;   els, ‘awl’ (from *alisna),  œ̂l (in the Orkneys alison),  alr, ‘awl.’ The consonance with  ãrâ, , ‘punch, awl,’ points to an  word; there existed also a widely ramified Aryan root to designate articles of leather. See and. <section end="Ahle" /> ,, in , which is wanting in and ; from the   âmen, ‘to measure a cask, gauge,’ figuratively ‘to estimate,’ from  and  âme, ‘ohm’ (cask = about 40 galls.).
