"to make oneself beloved," from philein "to love" (from philos "loving") + instrumental suffix -tron. Helen!
Oberlipperinne seems a doubtful word as Lippe and lip(D.)only mean lip, those two parts of the mouth where many women put lipstick on. If I would translate this Oberlipperinne to an in Dutch non existing word : bovenlipgleufje people could confuse it with a hare-lip.
Oberlipperinne to: bovenlipbinnenste would mean the inside of the upper lip. That's how I read the German word too.
Or would the German word for that be Oberlipperinnenste?
