Reconstruction talk:Proto-Indo-European/kap-

Turkish kap
Might this, by any chance, be related to Turkish kap and kapmak (-mak is an infinitive suffix)? 188.56.155.127 16:54, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It might be, but I don't know anything about how Turkish developed, so it could also be a coincidence. 17:10, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * On one hand, Turkish had a lot of contact with European languages (Albanian is a particularly nice fit here), but on the other we'd need the Proto-Turkic to feel more sure. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 17:15, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * FWIW, the etymology at kap says: ", ". --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 17:18, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Welsh caeth
This page currently derives Welsh caeth by two different routes: I guess the second one is wrong? --Caoimhin (talk) 14:16, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
 * keh₂p- > kh₂ptós > kaxtos > kaɨθ > caeth
 * keh₂p- > kh₂p-nós > kaɸnos > caeth
 * It looks like it, yes. —CodeCat 14:55, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
