كپنك

Ottoman Turkish

Etymology 1

كپنك

The origin is uncertain. Usually considered an Armenian borrowing and compared to Armenian կղպանք (kġpankʻ), փականք (pʻakankʻ, “lock”), կապանք (kapankʻ, “fetter”), խեփեկ (xepʻek, “skylight”), with a possible influence of قاپاق (kapak, “cover, lid, shutter”). The closest connection is with dialectal Armenian գաբանք (gabankʻ, “skylight; shutter; entrance”), also spelled գաբանկ (gabank), գաբոնք (gabonkʻ), գափունք (gapʻunkʻ), Moks dialect կ^յա̈փա̊նք^յ (k^yäpʻånkʻ^y, “trapdoor in the floor”). However, Ačaṙean considers these Turkish reborrowings and derives the Turkish from assumed Armenian *կափանք (*kapʻankʻ, “snare; lid”), from կափ- (kapʻ-). But for a native Türkic development note چلنك (çelenk) from چلك (çelek).
