Compare Hawaiian kapa, of similar hide, bark; side meanings.

That said, the Hawaiian derives from older Proto-Polynesian *tapa, and I'm not aware of any similar pattern of /k/ ↔ /t/ alternation in Japonic. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 22:03, 11 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Curious of the possibility of relatedness with 沢 (sawa, “mountain stream”), 爽やか (sawayaka, “refreshing, invigorating”). ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 01:22, 21 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
