Etimologia (Inglese)

Unknown, but thought to be from childish speech. However also found in regional Galician lipe m (“tipcat game and wood”), yet the Polish klipa (“tipcat game and wood”) (against Serbo-Croatian klȋs (“tipcat game and wood”)), and Northern German Kibbel-Kabbel (“tipcat game”) with different consonant order, may prove that this is all ideophonic, relating to the sound produced when resonating wood is hit.
