Comment:	Medial -p- in the word could reflect a connection with /cognate/953/ (i.e. Lat. aqua), however in view of the unexpected long vowel both Untermann and de Vaan prefer to judge cognacy with PIE *h₂ē̆p- 'water' (e.g. Ved. āp- 'water', OPers. āp-). It seems theoretically possible however that the lengthening of the initial vowel could be secondary, and a possible connection with /cognate/953/ should not be entirely discounted as a possibility (theoretically acknowledged by both Untermann & de Vaan).
