/ˈlɪpə/
Etymology
In summary
An originally Low and Central German form (though not in all dialects of the latter). From Middle Low German lippe and northern Middle High German lippe, from Old High German *lippa, from Proto-West Germanic *lippjō. One reason for the form’s prevailing in modern standard German was its use in Luther’s Bible translation. It gradually reduced Upper German Lefze to a marginal role (now chiefly “lip of a predator”, but rare).
