contents A word is said to be bordered if it contains a nonempty proper prefix that is also a suffix. A pair of words $(u, v)$ is said to be mutually bordered if there exists a word that is a nonempty proper prefix of $u$ and suffix of $v$, and there exists a word that is a nonempty proper suffix of $u$ and prefix of $v$. Recently, Gabric studied the number of mutually bordered pairs. In this work, we extend the concept of mutually bordered pairs to abelian setting, and determine the number of mutually abelian-bordered pairs of binary words using lattice paths. We also find the number of unbordered pairs in this context.
