Etymology

[edit]

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

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ˈhipːu/, [ˈhipːu]
  • Rhymes: -ipːu
  • Syllabification(key): hip‧pu

Noun

[edit]
