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; 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, “soup, broth”), as well as Hittite [script needed] (šuḫḫai, “to pour”).[1]

Verb

*suppōną

  1. to soak
