zope

Where it comes from

Unadapted borrowing from dialectal German Zope (French sope), probably from Slavic (compare Russian сапа́ (sapá)).

noun zopes

  1. A fish of species Ballerus ballerus (syn. Abramis ballerus) native to Eurasia. The absolute fecundity of zopes on first maturing (at the age of 5 years) was less than that of those spawning for the second time.[…]On comparison of the fecundity of zopes of the same size and different age the data obtained proved contradictory to some extent.
