Ãber (German pronunciation: [ËyËbÉ] ( listen), sometimes written ueber, uber or uuber, is a German language word meaning “over”, “above” or “across”. It is an etymological twin with German ober, and is cognate (through Proto-Germanic) with English over, Dutch over and Icelandic yfir, among other Germanic languages. It is also distantly cognate to both Latin super and Greek á½ÏÎÏ (hyper), through Proto-Indo-European. It is relatively well-known within Anglophone communities due to its occasional use as a hyphenated prefix in informal English, usually for emphasis. It is properly spelled with an umlaut.
