"topper" meaning in Dutch

See topper in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈtɔ.pər/ Audio: Nl-topper.ogg Forms: toppers [plural], toppertje [diminutive, neuter]
Rhymes: -ɔpər Etymology: From top + -er. The bird name is generally taken to derive from the noun top ("top"), not the adjective top ("great, amazing"). Some have instead adduced the dialectal word dobber (referring to both the greater scaup and the tufted duck), which was apparently current in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen at some point, with devoicing of both d- (to t-) and -bb- (to -pp-) yielding this form. Etymology templates: {{suf|nl|top|er}} top + -er Head templates: {{nl-noun|m|-s|+}} topper m (plural toppers, diminutive toppertje n)
