Etymology gappen incorrect?[edit]
On http://www.etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/gappen and in Beem, Jerosche, 1998, →ISBN I read about an etymology based on gappen < Yiddish chappen ‘to steal’< Polish chapać ‘to grab’, maybe related to Latin capere ‘to take, to grab’.Redav (talk) 00:35, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
