Etymology
From pre-Germanic *áp-ero-m, from the fossilized accusative/allative neuter singular of Proto-Indo-European *ap-eró-, a comparative/contrastive formation from *apó (Dunkel 2014: 68–70; Kroonen 2013: 2). Cognate with Sanskrit अपर (ápara), neuter adverb अपरम् (áparam), Avestan 𐬀𐬞𐬀𐬭𐬀 (apara-), Old Persian 𐎠𐎱𐎼 (apara-), and comparable Anatolian forms such as Lycian epre/i- (Dunkel 2014: 68–70; Mallory & Adams 1997). The related *after/*aftrą forms continue separate dental formations (Dunkel 2014: 68–70).
