οἰσύπη
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- οἴσυπος (oísupos)
Etymology
Explained as "ὀϝι-σύπη", like the synonym οἰσπώτη (oispṓtē), with an unclear second member. There is clear evidence for οἴσπη (oíspē, “sheep dung”), but it is difficult to decide whether the form with "υ" or the form without it is secondary. According to Beekes, the word is undoubtely from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF..
