Finnish
Etymology
From a root *hip(p)e- shared with hiven, dialectal hive (“sweet snack”) and dialectal hippi (“peak, tip”). SSA argues for a sound-symbolic origin,[1] while NSES connects both with hipiä (and thus indirectly also hius).[2]
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈhipːu/, [ˈhipːu]
- Rhymes: -ipːu
- Syllabification(key): hip‧pu
- Hyphenation(key): hip‧pu
