Etymology 2
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 Sanskritकपाल(kapā́la). Otherwise, sound-symbolic or borrowed from a substrate.
Proto-West Germanic: *habulō (see there for further descendants)
⇒? Proto-Celtic: *kʷennom(< *kpwen-nó-m?) (see there for further descendants)
Notes
