Comments: EDT 687, 688, 689, ЭСТЯ 5, 48-49, 108 (Tur. köpen being attributed here to a quite different root, see under *köp- 'to swell, foam'), 114-115, 129-130, TMN 3, 581-583. The above forms are hard to separate, and Doerfer's point of view that köpenek is secondarily < kepenek is probably faulty (even though köpenek is attested later: köpen is certainly attested earlier, and an assimilative delabialization *köpenek > kepenek seems quite plausible). The Chuvash form shows that the original meaning of the root must have been 'transparent covering, film', whence 'coat of mail' etc. Turk. > Mong. kebeneg 'saddle-cloth, shirt', Hung. köpönyeg 'raincoat' (Gombocz 1912). turcet-prnum,turcet-meaning,turcet-rusmean,turcet-krh,turcet-trk,turcet-tat,turcet-chg,turcet-hak,turcet-chv,turcet-krg,turcet-kaz,turcet-bas,turcet-reference,
