S. 6, 523), with the present <b class="b3">καπύσσων ἐκπνέων</b> H.; the supposed basis seems preserved in <b class="b3">κάπυς πνεῦμα</b> H. (also <b class="b3">κάπος ψυχή</b>, <b class="b3">πνεῦμα</b>). Uncertain is the gloss, given in the wrong place, <b class="b3">καπυκτά πνέοντα</b> H.; connected with <b class="b3">καπύσσων</b>?, cf [[ἀλύω]] (s.v.) with <b class="b3">ἀλύσσω</b> s. The stem with <b class="b3">υ-</b> also in [[καπυρός]] <b class="b2">dry etc.</b>, s. v.; uncertain is <b class="b3">κέκηφε</b> <b class="b3">τέθνηκε</b> H., [[κεκαφηότα]] (Hom.), s. v.<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: An original <b class="b3">*κϜαπ-νός</b> (see Schwyzer 302; and s. below), but note that Myc. does not have a [[w]], agrees with Lith. <b class="b2">kvãpas</b> [[breath]], [[smell]]; beside it with <b class="b2">ē-</b>vowel <b class="b2">kvėpiù,kvẽpti</b> [[gasp]], [[breathe]], Latv. [[kvêpstu]], [[kvêpt]] [[smoke]], [[smell]]; <b class="b3">καπνός</b> a. cogn. then seem to go back on IE. <b class="b2">ku̯ep-</b>. An old question is whether Lat. [[vapor]] [[vapour]], [[smoke]] with <b class="b2">v-</b> for expected <b class="b2">qu-</b> is cognate. On the other hand Russ. <b class="b2">kópotь</b> [[fine soot]], [[dust]] etc. presents a <b class="b2">u̯-</b>less form, which cannot be explained from Slavic. Finally Germ., e. g. Goth. [[af-ƕapjan]] [[suffocate]], [[extinguish]], [[af-ƕapnan]] [[extinguish]] show a root-final [[p]] for [[f]] ([[b]]). "Man hat somit in den verschiedenen Sprachen mit zahlreichen, nicht unerwarteten Entgleisungen zu rechnen. (Frisk)" - More forms in Pok. 596f.; cf. W.-Hofmann s. [[vapor]], Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. <b class="b2">kvẽpti</b>, Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. <b class="b2">kópotь</b>. S. also Bq. - Schrijver (Laryng. in Latin, 260f.) assumed a laryngeal for Latvian, and posited <b class="b2">*kuh₂ep-</b>, a rare type that is perhaps impossible; also it is uncertain that this gave <b class="b3">*κϜαπ-</b>. IE origin, then, is improbable. <b class="b2">*kap-</b> is unprobelematic for Pre-Greek; an <b class="b2">u-</b>stem (<b class="b3">κάπυς</b>) is frequent in Pre-Greek (s. Heubeck, Praegraeca 31-39), as is a suffix <b class="b2">n-</b> after consonant (Beekes, Pre-Greek, Suffixes). The Baltic (and Slavic) forms, and Lat. [[vapor]] are unclear, and may come form a substr. language. (I do not assume <b class="b2">*kʷap-</b>, as this would give <b class="b3">*κ(ϝ)οπ-</b>, cf. <b class="b3">ἄλοξ</b>, <b class="b3">καλαῦροψ</b>.)
