Turkish kap[edit]

Might this, by any chance, be related to Turkish kap and kapmak (-mak is an infinitive suffix)? 188.56.155.127 16:54, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It might be, but I don't know anything about how Turkish developed, so it could also be a coincidence. —CodeCat 17:10, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
On one hand, Turkish had a lot of contact with European languages (Albanian is a particularly nice fit here), but on the other we'd need the Proto-Turkic to feel more sure. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 17:15, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, the etymology at kap says: "Proto-Turkic *kā, *kāp". --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 17:18, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welsh caeth[edit]

This page currently derives Welsh caeth by two different routes:

  • keh₂p- > kh₂ptós > kaxtos > kaɨθ > caeth
  • keh₂p- > kh₂p-nós > kaɸnos > caeth

I guess the second one is wrong? --Caoimhin (talk) 14:16, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like it, yes. —CodeCat 14:55, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have removed it. --Caoimhin (talk) 11:24, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
