Talk:clop

RFV discussion: December 2022–January 2023
Rfv-sense: a small hill. (While we're here, it would be nice to have some cites for the My Little Pony senses; I don't doubt they exist, but it makes us look a bit silly to have them there, unsupported by evidence...) This, that and the other (talk) 13:27, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * It's brought up in various places as an etymon in Old and Middle English meaning "lump", "hill", etc. (e.g. the entries for Clapham and Clapp here), and assuming it has no modern attestation by itself it should probably be converted to a reconstruction entry and just mentioned in etymologies where appropriate. The Vocabulary of English Place-Names vol. 3 p. 115 says: "*clopp OE, '?lump, rock, hill' has been identified on the basis of the cognates MHG klupf, ModG dialect Klopf 'rock' and Dan klop 'block, lump'; the element seems to appear in numerous [place names] in the southern half of England", which suggests there's no direct attestation. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 20:25, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

RFV-failed, there's an Old English entry at which the "derived terms" now point to. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 12:56, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
