===Pronunciation===

===Etymology 1===
From {{inh|en|enm|pap}}. Related to {{cog|gml|pappe}}, {{cog|nl|pap}}, {{m+|de|Pappe||pap, porridge; [[wheatpaste]]; cardboard}}, Old French {{m|fro|papa}}/{{m|fro|pape}}, Latin {{m|la|pappa}}, Bulgarian {{m|bg|папам||to eat}} and Serbo-Croatian {{m|sh|папати}}/{{m|sh|papati||to eat}}, among others. The relationships between these words are difficult to reconstruct. The Germanic word is either a borrowing from Latin or, perhaps more probably, an independent formation in baby-talk.
