Ube    ,, ‘evil, bad, wrong; sick,’ from übel,  ubil, ‘bad, wicked’; a common   corresponding to  uƀil,  euvel. yfel, evil,  ubils, ‘bad.’ With these are connected  uppi (from  ubjo-), ‘vicious, malignant; villain,’ as well as the cognates of. The word has been supposed to be related to the  (Aryan upérî), so that  uƀilo-, from upelo-, meant  ‘that which oversteps a limit or is contrary to rule.’ Nothing positive, however, can be asserted, since the word is specifically ; or is  uall, ‘pride,’ cognate?.   ,, ‘to practise, exercise,’ from üeben,  uoben (from *ôbjan),  , ‘to set agoing, execute, venerate,’ corresponding to  ôƀian, ‘to celebrate,’  oefenen, ‘to exercise, look after,’ Ofc. œ́fa, ‘to practise.’ Allied to uoba, ‘celebration,’ uobo, ‘tiller of the soil.’ The  root ôb, ‘to execute,’ contained in these cognates, seems to have been originally used of tilling the ground and of religious acts. To this corresponds, according to the permutation of consonants, the Aryan root ō̆p, with which are allied ā̆pas,, ‘work’ ( religions work), and  ŏpus, , ‘work’ (connected with ŏperari, , ‘to sacrifice’).   , and, ‘over, above,’ from the   über;  ûbir, ubar, is a  with the  form ubiri. Corresponding to oƀar,  and  over,  ofer,  yfer,  ufar, ‘over.’ This common  word is based on an  Aryan upéri, which appears in  upari,  ὑπέρ (ὑπείρ),  super. With these are connected the, and. also.   , see. —   ,, ‘superfluous,’ from übervlüȥȥec, ‘overflowlng, superabundant, remaining.’ —   ,, ‘in general, on the whole,’ from late über houbet, ‘without counting the pieces, whole, all’ (properly only of buying goods;  houbet is frequently used to designate a number of men or beasts).   ,, ‘to wind over; overcome, conquer,’ from überwinden,  ubarwintan,  , ‘to excel, over - power, conquer’; also with an  meaning  überwinnen,  ubarwinnan. While the simple  wintan means ‘to turn, turn round,’  winnan (  oferwinnan) has the signification ‘to contend, quarrel’, which appears in the compound. The t, winch properly belongs only to the present stem in this sense, is the samne as in stantan, swintan (see, ). <section end="überwinden" /> <section begin="übrig" /> ,, ‘lest over, remaining,’ from überic (g), ‘left over, excessive, exaggerated, superfluous’; a  derivative of. <section end="übrig" /> <section begin="Ufer" /> ,, ‘shore, bank (of a river),’ a and  word (adopted like , , &c., in the written language), from the   uover,. *uofar ( *ôfr?) is wanting; nor is the word known even now to the dialects. ôver, oever,  ôfer (obsolete in ; yet Windsor is  to  Windles ôfer, ‘the bank of the Windel’). West ôfor has been considered, probably without reason, a cognate of  ap, ‘water’ (for the evolution of meaning  ), and  amnis (for *apnis?), ‘river.’   urvar, ‘haven, landing-place, bank,’ of the  period, points rather to a  *us-far, ‘haven’; - uz appears in some West  dialects as ô ( uo).
