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 Sanskrit कपाल (kapā́la). Otherwise, sound-symbolic or borrowed from a substrate.

Root

*kap-

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