"Kopf" meaning in German

See Kopf in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kɔpf/, [kɔp͡f], [kɔp͡ɸ] Audio: De-Kopf.ogg , De-Kopf2.ogg
Etymology: From Middle High German kopf (“drinking vessel”), from Old High German kopf, chopf, kupf (“mug, bowl, head”), from Proto-West Germanic *kopp, from Proto-Germanic *kuppaz (“round object, bowl, crown of the head”), from Proto-Indo-European *gew- (“to turn, bend, arch, curve”). Cognate with German Low German Kopp (“head”), Dutch kop (“head”), Saterland Frisian Kop (“head”), English cop (“the crown (of the head); the head”). Alternatively, from or influenced by Late Latin cuppa, probably a form of Latin cūpa (“tub”) from Proto-Indo-European *kewp- (“a hollow”), related to English cup, although the form and gender make this derivation less likely.
