For cubī with iambic shortening, from Proto-Italic *kʷuðei or *kʷuβei, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷudʰei or *kʷobʰí (when compared with Hittite ku-wa-pi), from pronominal root *kʷu- + *-dʰi (“locative suffix”). Compare Ancient Greek πόθι (póthi). See also the same meanings in quō.[1]

The unexpected loss of c may be explained as a metanalysis of the negative nēcubi, where the c was interpreted as being from nec (truly here the negation was just the nē). This is also clear in the compound alicubi and sī-cubi. Contamination with ibi (“there”) is also possible.

   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.99–101:

     “[...] saevus ubi Aeacidae tēlō iacet Hector, ubi ingēns
     Sarpēdōn, ubi tot Simois correpta sub undīs
     scūta virum galeāsque et fortia corpora volvit!”

     “[Troy…], where fierce Hector lies, [pierced] by the spear of Achilles, where huge Sarpedon [perished], [and] where the [River] Simois has seized and rolled beneath its waves so many shields, helmets and bodies of brave men!”
     (The repetition of “ubi” exemplifies anaphora. “Aeacidae” is a patronymic: Achilles was the grandson “of Aeacus.” Read virorum for virum, a syncopated genitive plural. See also: Simois or Simoeis; Sarpedon.)
