"Grip" meaning in Low German

See Grip in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From Middle Low German grīp, from an Old Saxon [Term?] (“griffin”), from Latin gryphus, from Ancient Greek γρύψ (grúps, “griffin”). This spelling coinsides with Old Norse gripr (Swedish grip; also Breton gripi); via the fairy tale The Griffin, also found in Dutch grijp, grijpvogel, Norwegian fugl grip, and Icelandic gripfugl. Compare with the High German spelling: Old High German grif, German Greif (“griffin”); and Latin spelling: Medieval Latin grȳphō; Old Danish gryph, Danish grif; Norwegian griff (“griffin”); also English griffin.
