## Latin
### Etymology

For cubī with iambic shortening, from Proto-Italic *kʷuðei or *kʷuβei, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷudʰei or *kʷobʰí (when compared with Hittite ku-wa-pi), from pronominal root *kʷu- + *-dʰi (“locative suffix”). Compare Ancient Greek πόθι (póthi). See also the same meanings in quō.
The unexpected loss of c may be explained as a metanalysis of the negative nēcubi, where the c was interpreted as being from nec (truly here the negation was just the nē). This is also clear in the compound alicubi and sī-cubi. Contamination with ibi (“there”) is also possible.

### Pronunciation

* (Classical Latin) IPA: /ˈu.biː/, [ˈʊbiː] or IPA: /ˈu.bi/, [ˈʊbɪ]
* The long vowel was chiefly used in Old Latin poetry.

### Adverb

ubī̆ (not comparable)
* (interrogative) where? in what place?, in which place?
    Ubi?Where?
    Ubi patera nunc est? — In cistulā.Where is the bowl now? — In the small chest.

** 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.99–101:“[...] saevus ubi Aeacidae tēlō iacet Hector, ubi ingēns Sarpēdōn, ubi tot Simois correpta sub undīs scūta virum galeāsque et fortia corpora volvit!”“[Troy…], where fierce Hector lies, [pierced] by the spear of Achilles, where huge Sarpedon [perished], [and] where the [River] Simois has seized and rolled beneath its waves so many shields, helmets and bodies of brave men!” (The repetition of “ubi” exemplifies anaphora. “Aeacidae” is a patronymic: Achilles was the grandson “of Aeacus.” Read virorum for virum, a syncopated genitive plural. See also: Simois or Simoeis; Sarpedon.)
