I did a quick google search and the word "crepin" (Singular?) shows up
frequently as a name- various people and seems to be a location names
as well.  I think there's a disease as well.
the word "crepiner" shows up again as a name, though not as much under
the first search, and as I believe a piece of a musical instrument.
I'm not 100% sure of the context, since the original site was danish
and I was looking at a translated version.  There were a number of
danish sites and/or books on the web that used this word.  You want to
take a look and see.
