Etymology

From Proto-Albanian * ̊tupi-, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)teu-p- 'to push, beat'. Cognate to Ancient Greek τύππω ‎(túppō, “to strike, beat”). A formation with the prefix për-[1]. The root vowel has undergone umlaut. Alternatively from Proto-Indo-European *teup ' to get down, conceal oneself'. Compare Lithuanian tūpiù ‎(“to get down, lay on one's knees”), Old Norse Þopta ‎(“thwart”), Gothic Þiubs ‎(Þiubs, “thief”)[2].
