trampen

A dialectal word which has an unshifted -p- throughout High German. Therefore possibly from Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value), whence also English tramp. Compare also Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value), whereas only the frequentative trampeln is attested in Middle High German. The word derives from Proto-West Germanic *trampan (“to step”).
