Proto-Germanic

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈxup.pɔː.nɑ̃/

Etymology 1

From a pre-Germanic iterative *kuP-néh₂-(ye-)ti, usually derived from Proto-Indo-European *kewb-, *ḱewb- (to bend; a bend, joint) (compare Latin cubō (I recline), Ancient Greek κύβος (kúbos, hollow in the hips), Albanian sup (shoulder), Sanskrit शुप्ति (śúpti, shoulder)); however, according to Kroonen the root must be *kup- with final *p, in view of Middle Dutch hobben.[1] Tentatively compare Ancient Greek κύπτω (kúptō, to stoop, hunch), Lithuanian kuprà (hump) and Old High German hofar, hofir (hump).
