"tapor" meaning in Old English

See tapor in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈtɑ.por/ Forms: taporas [nominative, plural]
Etymology: No cognates exist in other Germanic languages: perhaps borrowed from Latin papyrus (via an unattested form *papur), which in later use also meant ‘candle-wick’ (compare Spanish pabilo (“candlewick”)). In early Middle English glossaries, Latin papyrus was glossed as taper. See also German Kerze (“candle”), ultimately from Ancient Greek χάρτης (khártēs, “papyrus”). Etymology templates: {{unk|ang|No cognates}} No cognates, {{bor|ang|la|papyrus}} Latin papyrus, {{cog|es|pabilo||candlewick}} Spanish pabilo (“candlewick”), {{m+|la|papyrus}} Latin papyrus, {{noncog|de|Kerze||candle}} German Kerze (“candle”), {{cog|grc|χάρτης||papyrus}} Ancient Greek χάρτης (khártēs, “papyrus”) Head templates: {{head|ang|nouns|nominative plural|taporas|||g=m|g2=|g3=|head=|sort=}} tapor m (nominative plural taporas), {{ang-noun|m|taporas}} tapor m (nominative plural taporas)
