Etymology
1. From Proto-West Germanic *tappō, from Proto-Germanic *tappô, whence also Old High German zapho, Old Norse tappi.
2. Normally prehistoric *æ was retracted to *a when followed by a geminate and back vowel. Reason for consistent failure of retraction in this word remains unknown. If the word is infrequently attested a commoner variant *tappa may well have existed, cf. hnappian alongside less common hnæppian. See: Old Norse Nouns '
tappi'.
