Kroonen 2013: 3 posits the derivation from a thematicized reflex of a Proto-Indo-European amphikinetic l/n-stem *h₂épōl ~ *h₂épl̥, genitive *h₂p-n-ós (‘fire pit, hearth’), comparing it with Hittite 𒄩𒀊𒁉𒈾𒀸. But the Hittite form may alternatively belong to a separate derivative, *h₃op-en-o- from the root *h₃ep-, comparable with Ancient Greek ὀπτός and ὀπτάωPuhvel 1991: 121–22, in which case the direct l/n-stem comparison is less secure. (Wachter 1997 gives good reason to doubt the existence of an l/n heteroclite class.) A substrate or technical Wanderwort origin is also possible.
