*hupiz
Runic: ᚺᚢᛈᛁᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈxu.piz/noun · masculine · i-stem
Meanings
hip, haunch, upper part of the thigh
Etymology
Uncertain. Most simply, from a late Proto-Indo-European *kewb- (‘to recline’); cognate with Latin cubō (‘lie down, recline’), Latin cubitus (‘elbow, bend, arch’), Proto-Celtic *kuxsketi (‘to sleep’). Compare however Proto-West Germanic *hubil (‘bump, hill’), *hump (‘hump, hunch’), Danish huv (‘hull’) and English hub, hob, all of uncertain origin. Has been compared to Proto-Germanic *huppōną (‘to hop’), for a pre-Germanic or Proto-Indo-European root “to bend”, which has been reconstructed in various ways. More at *kh₂em-, Ancient Greek κύβος (kúbos) (kúbos, ‘hollow in the hips’), Albanian sup (‘shoulder’), Sanskrit शुप्ति (śúpti) (śúpti, ‘shoulder’).
