Thanks. I had assumed it was three class as the seat map started at 5. However, EF does show a 2 class aircraft both ways. I will stick with even numbers for now unless someone talks me out of it since both Etihad and EF sites both say those are the windows.

I looked at my own bookings for ORD-AUH-ORD and I am in 6K, which is a window. That is for a different date of course, but I also looked at Expertflyer for your specific dates, and Expertflyer is pretty reliable. It also shows even numbered rows as having the window seats. Seatguru shows the opposite and it is definitely wrong about the 2-class 777.
Again, if for some reason you really have 3-class equipment on those particular dates, my own seat bookings are not relevant and maybe Expertflyer is wrong. But this is not a 3-class route, and for 2-class equipment, I can say confidently that the even numbered rows have the window seats. This is consistent with EY's seat map associated with your booking.
I know EtihadHelp is saying the opposite, but in my experience, the seat map shown on etihad.com for a specific booking is always accurate.
