German
Etymology
From Old High German Zulpicha, from Latin Tolbiacum (1st century AD). The underlying West Germanic form must be *Tulpik- (perhaps by assimilation); compare attested Latin Tulpiacum. The cluster -lp- remains unshifted in Ripuarian, and West Germanic -lb- could not have become -lp- there. The b-form might underlie in contemporary Central Franconian Zöllech, but older German sources seem to have -p- invariably, so this is probably a later reduction.
