"Abital" translates to dewy (as in,
morning dew)[4] or my father is [the] dew (Ab-i means "my father"; -i is possessive pronoun for "my").[5][better source needed]
The name refers to
dew, the phenomenon of water droplets that occur on exposed objects in the morning or evening due to
condensation.
William Dwight Whitney's Century Dictionary of 1889 defines "avital" as "pertaining to a grandfather; ancestral", giving its root as the Latin avus,
lit.'grandfather'.[6] It is used thus in 1889 by Hubert Lewis's The Ancient Laws of Wales.[7]
