• “tipula”, in Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, Springfield, Mass.: G. & C. Merriam, 1913, →OCLC.

• litupa

Borrowed from Late Latin cepulla. The change in the initial consonant suggests that the term was borrowed when Latin /k/ had palatalized to [kʲ], and that Basque speakers, lacking that sound, interpreted it as /t/ (or as /k/, hence the dialectal form kipula).^[1] Compare Spanish cebolla, Italian cipolla.
