knipsen

Etymology
From the now dated noun, itself derived with the northern suffix from the verb. Compare 🇨🇬. This verb may plausibly be thought to be derived from 🇨🇬 (see ), but onomatopoeia has certainly played a role in the development of this root.

Verb

 * 1) to nip; to pinch (particularly so as to pluck or cut off)
 * 2) to perforate (particularly a ticket, so as to invalidate)
 * 3) to photograph
