Talk:talpă

Etymology

@Fay Freak: As you compare it to Alemannic German Talpe (I personally know it under the form Tööpe^[1] and chiefly in a derogatory sense for human hands), there's also Talp (final gmh -ə usually becomes gsw -∅ whereas gmh -ən becomes gsw -ə), usually in the plural Tälp(e) meaning footprints^[2] (I personally only know it in relation to animal tracks). This helps bridge the semantic gap a little. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 13:45, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
