ap ap (in the Vedas used in sing. and plur., but in the classical language only in plur.), āpas, f. water; air, the intermediate region; the star δ Virigi- nis. Sometimes, particularly in the Vedas, the Āpaḥ are considered as divinities. As the last member of a compound, ap may become apa, īpa, ūpa. [Cf. Lat. aqua; Goth. ahva, ‘a river;’ Old Germ. aha, and affa at the end of compounds; Lith. uppê, ‘a river;’ perhaps Lat. amnis, ‘a river,’ for apnis; cf. also ἀφρός].
