[OE. clipian corresponds to an OTeut. type *klipôjan; a parallel formation to *klipjan which appears in clip v.3, OFris. klippa to ring, E. Fris. klippen to clink, rap, LG. (Brem. Wbch., etc.) klippen to sound, resound, dial Ger. kliffen to yelp. The stem klip- was app. in ablaut-relation with klap(p)- (see clap v.) as the expression of a lighter or thinner sound. The OE. variants were due to fracture (‘o-umlaut’) of i; the form cleopian originated the ME. clepe.]
