aspai

Laefevian

Etymology

An old formation, probably from Pre-Proto-Laefevic *aspaðəh (“first sun, first day”), from Proto-Laenkean *ʔas- (“one”) and *pɯd- (“sun”). It is unlikely for the compound to have been formed in Proto-Laenkean already but the presence of *p indicates that it must have been formed before the loss of word-initial *p-.
