Preposition

IPA: /am.pʰí/, /amˈɸi/, /amˈfi/, /am.pʰí/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /amˈpʰi/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /amˈɸi/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /amˈfi/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /amˈfi/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Forms: amphí [romanization]
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *ampʰí, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂m̥bʰi (“round about, around”). Beekes argues that the Indo-European term originated as a case form of *h₂ent- (“face”), which is the source of ἀντί (antí). Cognate with Old English ymb-, Middle English umbe, Latin ambi-, Sanskrit अभि (abhí, “towards, over, upon”), Old Persian 𐎠𐎲𐎡𐎹 (abiy, “towards, against, upon”), Old High German umbi, Old Irish imb (“around”) and the first part of Old Armenian ամբ-ողջ (amb-ołǰ, “whole”).
