Ibn Ezra on Genesis 42:21/אבן עזרא על בראשית מ״ב:כ״א
אאבל. כמו "אבל שרה אשתך" (בראשית יז יט) כמו אכן (בראשית כח טז):
1VERILY. Aval (verily) has the same meaning as aval in Verily (aval) Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son (Gen. 17:19). It means verily (Gen. 28:16).24 also means but, however. Hence I.E. points out that here it means verily.
