Etymology
Belongs to the group of words for rounded objects with k-/h- + rounded vowel + labial. Perhaps a variant of lb Kopp hill, from northern lb gmh kuppe, but the words of this group are so varied that a precise origin is hard to ascertain. Compare also lb Kapp head, lb Hauf bonnet, de Haufen heap, nl kuip tub, and more distantly cs kupa heap.
Pronunciation
lb [kəʊ̯p]
