Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Probably deverbal from a nasalized variant of onomatopoeia *so(p)ti, *sopěti (“to wheeze”), given that, as the vowel of the bird-name changed to и (i) in East Slavic, so the verb is replaced with the variant сипѣ́ть (sipě́tʹ), сипі́ти (sipíti, “to hiss”).

Noun

*sǫpъ m

  1. vulture
