nafnorðkarlkyn
kaupir, keypti, keypt; [ kaupatjan = κολαφίζειν and kaupon = πραγματεύεσθαι, Luke xix. 13; ceâpian; Old chop; coup; cheapen, chaffer, couper, chap-man, (see angr); kaufen; Dutch koopen; köpa; kjöbe; a word common to all languages. The derivation from caupona is hardly admissible, whereas Grimm’s ingenious suggestion (Dict. iii. 198) connecting it with kaupatjan, which uses = to strike in the face, is strongly borne out by the very form of the word;—since, first, this word, although having au as its root vowel, follows the 2nd and not the 1st weak conjugation; secondly, the vowel changes in preterite and participle, which is characteristic of a verb with an inflexive or characteristic j; thirdly, the t in the preterite (so far as is known) is never spelt with ð or þ,—keypti, not keypði or keypþi (see introduction to letter D, C. III. 2),—which indicates that the t is here radical and not inflexive. The word therefore represents in its tenses both the Gothic words,—kaupan in the present tense, kaupatjan in the preterite: the bargain was symbolized by ‘striking,’ hence the phrase ‘to strike’ a bargain, Dutch koopslagen.]
