Slappeterp

== Dutch == === Etymology === First attested as clepesdor [read: sleperdorp] in the 13th century. Borrowed from West Frisian Slappeterp, derived in turn from a compound of an unclear first element and Old Frisian dorp (“village, artificial mound used for habitation”). The first element may be a term cognate to Old English slipor (“slippery”), slepa (“sleep”) or the superlative form of slap (“weak”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈslɑ.pəˌtɛrp/ Hyphenation: Slap‧pe‧terp === Proper noun === Slappeterp n a village in Waadhoeke, Friesland, Netherlands === References === van Berkel, Gerard; Samplonius, Kees (2018), Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard (in Dutch), Mijnbestseller.nl, →ISBN
