Pronunciation

Etymology 1

    From Proto-Indo-Iranian *(H)wap- (to strew, scatter). Cognate with Avestan 𐬬𐬍𐬎𐬎𐬁𐬞𐬀𐬝 (vīuuāpat̰, strews apart, plunders). The Indo-Iranian root has been derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wep(h₁)- (to scatter, harass), with Hittite 𒄷𒉿𒀊𒍣 (huwapp-i, to hurl, throw; to mistreat, harass) as a cognate. Furthermore, Hittite [script needed] (hippa-, heap), 𒄷𒉿𒀊𒉺𒀸 (huwappa-, evil, badness), Old Irish fel (bad) have tentatively been connected. Compare also वपा (vapā, omentum), वप्र (vapra, rampart).

    Etymology 2

      From Proto-Indo-Iranian *(H)wap- (to shave, shear). Cognate with Khotanese [script needed] (patävutta, shaven). The further etymology of this Indo-Iranian root is uncertain and it has tentatively been connected to Etymology 1, with Lubotsky opining that a single root existed in Indo-Iranian with both meanings.
