Runic: ᛊᚢᛈᛟᚾᚨ Pronunciation: /ˈsup.pɔː.nɑ̃/

verb · Weak class 2

Meanings

to soak

Etymology

Kroonen reconstructs the Pre-Germanic form as *su(H)ph₃néh₂-, with dissimilation of the first laryngeal, a compound of Proto-Indo-European *sewH- (‘to pour; moisture, rain, juice’) + *peh₃- (‘to drink’). The strong verb *sūpaną (‘to guzzle, soak’) was likely back-formed from the iterative. Related to Sanskrit सूप (sūpa) (sūpa, ‘soup, broth’), as well as Hittite [script needed] (kaka-) (šuḫḫai, ‘to pour’).
