Unknown. Possible, but unlikely, is a connection with the homonym kalpa (piece of wood put on an animal's neck to prevent it from running through a fence, poke), which is likely of Germanic origin.

  • Syllabification(key): kal‧pa

    • 1917, “Jääkärimarssi”, Heikki Nurmio (lyrics), Jean Sibelius (music):
      Syvä iskumme on, viha voittamaton,
      meill’ armoa ei kotimaata.
      Koko onnemme kalpamme kärjessä on,
      ei rintamme heltyä saata.
      Our blow is deep, our wrath invincible,
      we have no mercy, no homeland
      Our fortune lies at the tips of our swords,
      our hearts shall not relent.
  3. (fencing) epee
