Комментарии:VEWT 245, EDT 905, Лексика 242-243. The quality of the initial velar is not quite clear: the Az. form perhaps preserves an archaism, while other Oghuz forms may be kypchakisms; otherwise its Altaic connections become more dubious. KKalp. kepše 'shoulderblade' quoted in VEWT means in reality 'a small shovel' (Russ. лопатка), from Pers. kapča = Osm. kepče 'ein grosser Löffel' (VEWT 254).
