German
Pronunciation
Etymology 1
Related with Middle Low German besubben (“to soil, sully, bedabble”), dialectal Swedish subba (“to soil”), perhaps also sabbern (“to dribble, slaver”). Further possibly onomatopoeic, but also comparable with the root of Saft, English sap, or that of Sieb, Seife, English sieve, soap, seep. With regard to the latter, compare especially Dutch sijpelen (“to trickle, seep, drip”) and similar verbs in Low German dialects. If not original relation, at least semantic interference between these stems seems very likely.
Verb
- (regional, intransitive) to trickle; to drip; to ooze; to leak; to seep; to soak
- Synonyms: schwappen, rinnen, sickern, triefen, tropfen
- Die Soße suppt durch den Teig. ― The sauce is seeping through the dough.
- Sekret suppt aus der Wunde. ― Secretion oozes out of the wound.
- 1966, Eberhard Wolfgang Möller, Die feindlichen Schwestern, Berg: Hohenstaufen Verlag, published 1983, →ISBN, page 253:
- Nur das Wasser gurgelte und suppte unter unseren Füßen; das kam von den Blasen, die aus dem Morast aufstiegen, es war das einzige Geräusch, das noch zu hören war.
