Proto-Germanic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Apparently from a quasi-Indo-European *h₁royp-nó-s (band, strip, strap), of uncertain origin.[1] Kroonen considers the term limited to Germanic,[2] but others have further derived it from Proto-Indo-European *h₁reyp- (to peel off, rip, tear; strip, strap), though if so, the irregular sound shift from PIE *-p- > PGm *-p- rather than PGm *-f- remains to be explained. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
