slippe

Danish

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /slepə/, [ˈsl̥eb̥ə]

Etymology 1

A merger of two related verbs: 1. the intransitive Old Norse sleppa (past tense slapp), from Proto-Germanic *slimpaną, cognate with Swedish slippa. 2. the transitive Old Norse sleppa (past tense sleppti), from Proto-Germanic *slampijaną, cognate with Swedish släppa. The Danish word is influenced by the similar but unrelated word Middle Low German slippen, Dutch slippen (whence English slip).
