Runic: ᚺᚨᚢᛈᚨᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈxɑu̯.pɑz/

noun · masculine · a-stem

Meanings

heap, pile
crowd, throng

Etymology

From earlier *hauppaz, reflecting pre-Germanic *kouHp-nó- or *keh₂up-nó-, probably part of an ablauting n-stem paradigm *haufô ~ *huppaz, from which *hūpô also split off; ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *keh₂wp- (‘heap, pile’), a stem of unusual formation. Related to Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬊𐬟𐬀 (kaofa) (kaofa, ‘mountain, hump’), Old Irish cúan (‘pile’), Lithuanian kaũpas (‘heap’), Proto-Slavic *kupъ (‘heap’).
