Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: kind of oak, Quercus Cerris (Thphr.)
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Unexplained. Not to OHG. aspa asp (Hoops Waldbäume 122), as this had originally -ps-; and the -r- would remain unexplained. Hubschmid, Sard. Stud. 98, compares Basque tšapaŕ oak, but this does not fit well.
