hnīpan(?)

to bow, bend the head :-- Āsige l hnīpte (hnimpte. An. Ox. 1579) procumberet, caderet, Hpt. Gl. 443, 50. Hnīpendre (hnipendre = hnipiendre ?) curua, An. Ox. 1279. Hnipenre cernua, Hpt. Gl. 436, 61. [In support of this form might be cited the Icel. hnīpa; p. hnīpti; pp. hnipinn, where trace of the strong conjugation remains only in past participle, and such a pair of strong and weak verbs as hnīgan, hnigian. But more probably the past tense hnipte may be assigned to a weak hnippan, and the two participles to hnipian.] hnipan
