bibbern

== German == === Etymology === The contemporary form since the 19th century from Low German bibbern, probably already Middle Low German *bibberen, a frequentative of bēven (from Old Saxon bibōn, bivon), from Proto-West Germanic *bibēn, cognate of modern German beben. Compare Dutch bibberen (1700), English biver. In spite of the late attestations, these informal verbs might be rather old in view of the etymologically regular gemination -ēv- → -ibb-, though this can also be due to analogy. Earlier High German variants are bebern, bebbern (18th c.), perhaps also pöpern (East Central German, late 17th c.). These are formed directly from beben. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈbɪbɐn] === Verb === bibbern (weak, third-person singular present bibbert, past tense bibberte, past participle gebibbert, auxiliary haben) to shiver to jitter ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Synonyms ==== zittern schlottern ==== Derived terms ==== Bibbern === See also === schütteln beben frösteln frieren === Further reading === “bibbern” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache “bibbern” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “bibbern” in Duden online == Yola == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈbɪbərn/ (spelled bibberin) === Verb === bibbern present participle of bibber ==== Related terms ==== bebbereens === References ===
