Etymology 1

Uncertain. There are many variants from a common root *kama-, like kamala, kamaja, kamaa, including in related languages (Ingrian kama, Karelian kamaja, kamoa, Ludian kamai). Has sometimes been connected with Lithuanian kami̇́enas (“tree trunk”), but this comparison is dubious.

2. synonym of alapinta (“soffit”)
