Proto-Germanic
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”) + *peh₃- (“to drink”). The strong verb *sūpaną (“to guzzle, soak”) was likely back-formed from the iterative. Related to Sanskrit सूप (sūpa, “soup, broth”).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈsup.pɔː.nɑ̃/
Verb
*suppōną
- to soak
Inflection
The original paradigm consisted of two stem variants, *supp- in the singular, *sub- in the non-singular.
