Proto-Indo-European
Etymology
Considered a post-PIE loanword by De Vaan.[1] The appearance of initial *g- in one, and the cluster *-ɸr- (instead of the expected *-br-) in the other, Celtic variant are inexplicable if these are considered inherited reflexes. The a-vocalism likewise suggests a Wanderwort.
Noun
*kápros m (non-ablauting)[2]
