Etymology

  • From Elamite 𒁾𒉿𒊏 (tup-pi-ra),[1] from earlier Elamite 𒋼𒅁𒂟 (te-ep-pir2 /⁠teppir, tipir⁠/, scribe, magistrate), of disputed origin; deriving likely as an Elamite version of Akkadian 𒇽𒋛𒉿𒊒 (LU2si-pi-ru /⁠sepīru⁠/, scribe). Alternatively derived from Elamite 𒋼𒅁 (te-ep /⁠tep-, tip-,⁠/, to form, to fashion? (bricks); to plow or furrow? (land); to engrave or inscribe, to write), likely a result of phono-semantic matching, itself being a native variation and/or from Akkadian 𒁾 (DUB /⁠ṭuppu⁠/), from Sumerian 𒁾 (dub /⁠dub⁠/). Uncertain connections with Sumerian 𒁾𒊬 (dub-sar /⁠dubsar⁠/, scribe) and with Proto-Semitic *dVbur-/*ḏVbur- (to speak, retell; to compose, to form, to make lines or layers; to lead and follow, to walk behind a plow).
  • By the way of an earlier (/⁠dipīwar⁠/), from Old Persian *dipī-var-. Compare also (dywʾn') and the oldest Elamite form 𒉈𒉿𒅕 (de3-pi-ir) attested around 2250 BC.
