köken: From Proto-Finnic *-lla, from earlier *-l-na, composed of an element *-l(l)- (external locative infix; see -lle) and the essive/locative suffix *-na. Compare Moksha -ла (-la) in фтала (ftala, “behind”).
at, by, near, among · at the house or residence of; chez · before, in the presence of, in the writings of, in view of
köken: Seems connected with ob and ad, thus its strict meaning would be “on to”, “unto”. De Vaan theorizes either a connection with apiō (“to tie”) or a derivation from *ad-pod, formed by the preverb ad (“to”) and the word for "foot", meaning something like "at the foot of" (cf. French chez). The latter option is found in other words such as oppidum.
Apud Helvētiōs longē nōbilissimus fuit et dītissimus Orgetorix.
In prīncipiō erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum et Deus erat Verbum.
apud Lentulum ponam te in gratia.
