- Syllabification: kap?pa
Etymology 1
Borrowing from Germanic, not clearly dateable: compare Old Saxon skap (“a measure”), Old High German scaf (“vessel”), from Proto-Germanic *skapaz, which is possibly a derivative of *skapjan? (“to shape”) (compare also *skappij? 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
kappa
- An old unit of measure for volume of dry things, still used for potatoes in market squares. A modern kappa is equal to 5 liters (iso kappa), or 2 liters (pikku kappa), but during the period of autonomy under Russia it was 1/30 of tynnyri (“barrel”) or 5.4961 liters, and before that under the Swedish rule it was 1/32 of tynnyri or 4.58 liters. A further complication is that Swedish and Russian barrels were not of equal size.
