[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]![A cubical wooden measuring vessel, a kappa.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Viiden_litran_kappa.jpg/220px-Viiden_litran_kappa.jpg)
Borrowing from Germanic, not clearly dateable: compare Old Saxon skap (“a measure”), Old High German scaf (“vessel”), from Proto-Germanic *skapaz,[1][2] which is possibly a derivative of *skapjaną (“to shape”)[3] (compare also *skappijǭ in Danish skæppe, Old Norse skeppa, Estonian dialectal käpp (“measure”)). Cognate within Finnic with Estonian kapp, Ingrian kappa, Karelian kappa, Ludian kappe, nominally reconstructible as Proto-Finnic *kappa.
Noun
[edit]kappa
- (historical) a unit of measure for the volume of dry goods, equivalent to 1/32 of a tynnyri or 4.58 litres in the Kingdom of Sweden and 1/30 of a tynnyri or 5.4961 litres in the Russian Empire
- in modern use, a unit of measure for the volume of dry goods used in farmers' markets especially for potatoes, equal to 5 litres, or 2 litres for pikku kappa
- a measuring vessel of one kappa, roughly cubical and typically made of wood
