Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Seemingly from Proto-Indo-European *nébʰos (“cloud”) with an *-n- infix, but the formal details are disputed. Possibly contaminated either by a zero-grade variant *imbus or by the related word imber (“rain”), if not borrowed from another Indo-European language. Cognates include Latin nebula, Proto-Slavic *nebo (“heaven, sky”), Sanskrit नभस् (nábhas, “sky”) and Ancient Greek νέφος (néphos, “cloud”).
