Etymology

Probably from Old Norse klǫpp. Attested by Christen Jensøn (1646), Erik Pontoppidan (1749) and Jacob Nicolai Wilse (1780), in all cases written as klop because of Danish spelling rules. Also attested in Danish text of Gerhard Schøning in his description of Norwegian countryside (1774). Probably not etymologically related to English clapper bridge.

    Synonyms: kavlebru, plankebru
  2. stairs up to a door of a hut, stabbur or shed
