rispv.

Brit. /rɪsp/, U.S. /rɪsp/, Scottish English /rɪsp/, Irish English /rɪsp/

Origin: Perhaps a borrowing from early Scandinavian.
Etymology: < early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic rispa to scratch, Norwegian rispe to rip, to tear, to slash, to scratch, Swedish rispa to scratch, Danish rispe to scratch, to tear, to plough for the first time), further etymology uncertain, perhaps ultimately < the same Germanic base as Old Swedish rippa and related words cited at rip v.1It is uncertain whether there is any etymological connection with rasp v.1 and rasp n.1, and if there is it is extremely remote; however, it is possible that the two groups of words may have influenced one another within English.
Now Scottish and Irish English (northern).
