-sciepe

== Old English == === Alternative forms === -sċipe, -sċip, -sċype === Etymology === Inherited from Proto-West Germanic *-skapi, from Proto-Germanic *-skapiz. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ʃi͜y.pe/ === Suffix === -sċiepe m noun-forming suffix: -ship ==== Usage notes ==== Though an expected outcome of Proto-Germanic *-skapiz in the Early West Saxon dialect, the form -sċiepe itself is a hapax legomenon, attested only once within the corpus (seen in the quotation above). The form -sċipe is what is primarily found instead, reflecting low stress monophthongization and raising in all dialects prior to the written period. Compare also hīew and nīewe for similar changes. ==== Declension ==== Strong i-stem: ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== Middle English: -schipeEnglish: -shipMiddle Scots: -schipScots: -ship
