hoppian
Old English
Etymology
From Proto-Germanic *huppōną (“to hop”), from Proto-Indo-European *kewb- (“to bend, bow”). Cognate with Dutch huppen, German hüpfen, Swedish hoppa, and Icelandic hoppa.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈxop.pi.ɑn/, [ˈhop.pi.ɑn]
Usage notes
- The senses "to skip" and "to bounce" are not attested in Old English, but they can be securely reconstructed because they occur in Middle English and in cognates such as German hüpfen and Icelandic hoppa.
