  1. (Old LatinCategory:Old Latin#ABS) alternative form of ab

Usage notes

  • This form is used almost exclusively with the second-person ablative singular pronoun (tē) in Old Latin up until the late Republican period as an archaicism, with Cicero switching between abs tē and ā tē until the latter won out in the final years of his life. The variant most likely became obsolete at the latest by the Augustan period.
  • Older Latin authors have used this preposition with the possessive (tuus) also, albeit rarely.
