drup

• IPA^(key): /drœp/

From Dutch drup, by-form of drop, from Middle Dutch drop. The sense “drip” is a semantic loan from English drip.

drup (plural druppe)

1. A drop of a liquid.

   Synonym: druppel

2. A drip, an intravenous.

From Dutch druppen, from Middle Dutch droppen.

drup (present drup, present participle druppende, past participle gedrup)

1. (intransitive) to drip

This form is very likely based on druppel, which is a suffixed derivate of drop that displays the effects of i-umlaut due to the suffix -el, which triggers it; drup is otherwise not at all an expected reflex of Proto-Germanic *drupô, as the short Germanic *u regularly yields Dutch o, not u.
