/nup/

Forms: 1700s knop, 1800s– knoop, 1800s– noop, 1800s– noup.

Origin: Probably a borrowing from Norn.

Etymology: Probably < the unattested Norn reflex of the early Scandinavian word represented by Old Icelandic núpr , gnúpr (Icelandic núpur ), Faroese núpur , Norwegian (Nynorsk) nup , Swedish regional gnup ; further etymology uncertain: perhaps related to Lithuanian kniubti to incline, bend down,kneel with one's head down, kniubsoti to lie prone, knopsoti to stand or sit with one's head down, Latvian kņupt , knupt to sit or lie hunched up, bend, lie prone, although the exact relationship is difficult to explain phonologically. Compare nip n.¹, noop n.¹The unusual form knop (see quot. 1701) probably shows the influence of knop n.¹ (perhaps compare also the form knoop).

Scottish (chiefly Orkney and Shetland).

A jutting or overhanging crag; a steep headland or promontory.Frequently in Orkney and Shetland place names.
