'Aber' is a prefix which can be found within the names of over 80 towns and villages throughout the lands of Wales and one which not only expresses the ancient culture of the Celts its also very much related to the ancient culture and language of Sanskrit and Vedic India.

 

'Aber' can be seen within 'Abergele' a town within the lands of Wales whose meaning is the mouth ( aber ) of the river gele and it can be seen within 'Aberavon' whose meaning is the mouth ( aber ) of the river avon and it can be seen within 'Aberdar' whose meaning is the 'mouth ( aber ) of the river dar'.

 

'Aber' whose meaning is 'mouth' has long been associated with 'ap' and 'apa' words from the language of Sanskrit whose meaning is 'water' yet academics refute this saying that its meaning is 'mouth' but as we shall see its a word whose larger meaning is formed from this Sanskrit 'ap'.

 

 

'Aber' is formed from 'abh' a word from the language of the Celts whose meaning is 'water' which is very much related to 'ab' a word from the language of Iran whose meaning is 'water' and the source of both is 'ap' a word from the language of Sanskrit whose meaning is 'water'.

 

'Ber' a word from the Celts which means to 'pour into' is very much related to 'bhr' a word from Sanskrit whose meaning is to 'carry' to 'bring' to 'bear' as in that which brings ( bhr ) the waters ( ap ) and as in that which carries ( bhr ) the waters ( ap ).

 

And so we have 'aber' a prefix which is said to mean the 'mouth' of the waters and upon closer inspection means to 'pour into the waters' which is then seen as a compound whose original meaning is that which carries ( ber ) the waters ( abh ) and that which bears ( ber ) the waters ( abh ).
