Despite TMN 3, 391, Щербак 1997, 135. borrowing in Mong. from Turk. is excluded. One cannot exclude a possibility that we are dealing with two different roots here: cf. the distinction in Turkic, strange loss of *-b- in Tungus *kala-n, and another Kor.-Jpn. root for 'vessel, container': MKor. kari 'fish pot, basket for catching fish', OJ ke (PJ *ka-i) 'vessel, container' (see Whitman 1985, 160). altet-prnum,altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-mong,altet-tung,altet-jap,altet-reference,

Japanese etymology :

Proto-Japanese: *kasipa
Meaning: vessel
Russian meaning: вид сосуда
Old Japanese: kasipa
Comments: In the earliest texts the word unambiguously denotes some kind of vessel (esp. a wine vessel); its reinterpretation as 'oak leaf' and 'food-wrapping oak-leaf' is certainly a later folk-etymological development.
