Thanks, I had completely forgotten about dopo.

According to Rohlfs, this derives from "de post" > de poi > depò/dipò >
dépo/dípo > dópo. All forms are attested in the Italian dialects (Std.
Italian dopo, depoi, dipoi, dappoi; Southern: dòppu, dòpp&, ròpp&, tòppu,
Umbr. depò, Siena dipò, Elba dipó, Abbruz. dapú, dapuó, Genoa dapue,
O.Neapol. dapò, Gall-Sic. d&puói).

Are there any Romanian variants of <dupã>?
