Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (nup "small, fine, implying many particles; mean, paltry"). Wonder if it's somehow related to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *nup ~ nip (“to sink, enter”) (probably not).”
