Havelok the Dane (Legendary character) -- Romances
Rippe, _n._ fish-basket, 893. Hence a _Rippar_, B. Lat. _riparius_, is a
person who brings fish from the coast to sell in the interior. V. Spelm.
in v. Nares prefers the etymology of _ripa_, but without reason. _Rip_
is still provincial for an osier basket. _See_ Jam. and Moore. So also
in a curious Latin and English Vocabulary, written out by Sire John
Mendames, Parson of Bromenstrope [Broomsthorp, Co. Norf.] in the middle
of the 15th cent., and now preserved in the valuable MSS. library of
T. W. Coke, Esq. _Cophinus_ is explained _A beryng lepe_, or _ryppe_,
terms still retained in the county. Jam. gives Icel. _hrip_, a basket.
