Probably from resp, a word that in the Eastern counties means a shoot, a sucker, a young stem, and especially the fruit-bearing stem of raspberries (Forby).

الصفحة 99 - I found a great piece of the wall made of the white stone of the country, and very hard mortar, and still very thick, though the facing on both sides has been peeled off for the sake of the square stones which they used in building.

Between the horse and the prostrate figure are DM ; under...
