𑀘𑀧𑁆𑀧𑀇

• 𑀘𑀁𑀧𑀇 (caṃpaï)

Unknown. If not the source of Classical Sanskrit चप् (cap, “to knead”), चर्पट (carpaṭa, “lying flat, palm of hand”), चर्पटी (carpaṭī, “flatbread”), चपेट (capeṭa, “slap with open hands”), चर्वन् (carvan, “slap with open hands”), and चिपिट (cipiṭa), all these words are probably of the same substrate origin. Compare Pashto [script needed] (ċapaq), Ormuri [script needed] (čapâγ, “slap with open palm”), Tamil சப்பாணி (cappāṇi, “clapping”), and Telugu చప్పట (cappaṭa, “a slap”).

Perhaps connected with *𑀙𑀧𑁆𑀧𑀇 (*chappaï, “presses, covers, hides”), *𑀙𑀺𑀧𑁆𑀧𑀇 (*chippaï), *𑀙𑀼𑀧𑁆𑀧𑀇 (*chuppaï), *𑀘𑀺𑀩𑁆𑀩 (*cibba, “flattened”), *𑀘𑀺𑀁𑀩𑀇 (*ciṃbaï, “blinks”), and *𑀚𑀧𑁆𑀧𑀇 (*jappaï, “squeezes, presses”).
