Etymology 2

edit

    Uncertain; may be the same as the verbal root in *kap- (Etymology 1) above, particularly if it developed figuratively from the sense “cup, bowl” as retained in Proto-Celtic *kaɸukos and perhaps Sanskrit कपाल (kapā́la).[1] Otherwise, sound-symbolic or borrowed from a substrate, as evidenced by the a-grade.[2][3]

    Root

    edit

    *kap-

    2. head
      Synonyms: *gʰébʰōl, *ḱérh₂sō
    3. ? bowl, cup
