German taufen (to baptize) has no direct reflex in English, though a reflex of it enters English as to dope via Dutch:
G taufen < OHG toufen < Gmc *daupjan *gt; MDu dopen > Du doopen, noun doop (sauce) > E dope.
A relative of Gmc *daupjan, however, has both English and German reflexes:
G tupfen (to dab) < OHB tupfen < Gmc *duppjan > OE dyppan > E dip.
