trampeln
German
Etymology
From Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value). Equivalent to trampen + -eln (frequentative suffix). The unshifted -mp- is regular in Central and Low German, but is invariably found in Upper German dialects, too. The onomatopoetic character of the verb does not sufficiently explain this, particularly as Upper German has a shifted ablaut variant trumpfen (“to trample”). Perhaps trampen, trampeln were originally northern and moved southwards during the Middle Ages. Cognate with Dutch trampelen, Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value), from which English trample.
