Etymology 4
Aasen, in his 1850 dictionary, lists it as a variant of ut av.[1][2] As such, the origin of this word is not too dissimilar from that of på (“on”) from Old Norse upp á. A transitional variant tof is attested in Råbyggjelaget glossary of David Klim (17th century). See also tu (“out of”), ti (“in”) and poinni (“under”).
