Comments: A southwestern Bsq word; the northeast prefers *tupV (q.v.) with some of the same meanings. *upe(l), *tupV, and Romance words derived from Lat. cūpa have blended to some extent in Bsq, so much so that some etymologists have conflated them, with alternating initials (or none) (!) . BNV, LAB dupel 'cask' looks like a blend.
