Cap, cape, cup, cupola....

  The Türkic "container, vessel, box"....

The extant Dictionary definitions of Cap/cape/cup/cupola etc
1 n. - A small open container usually used for drinking; usually has a handle
2 n. - O.E. cĉppe "hood, head-covering," from L.L. cappa "a cape, hooded cloak," possibly shortened from capitulare "headdress," from L. caput "head" (see head). Meaning "women's head covering" is c.1225 in Eng.; extended to men 1382. Of cap-like coverings on the ends of anything (e.g. hub-cap) from c.1440. Meaning "contraceptive device" is first recorded 1916. "Cap-shaped piece of copper lined with gunpowder and used to ignite a gun" is c.1826; extended to paper version used in toy pistols, 1872. The L.L. word apparently originally meant "a woman's head-covering," but the sense transferred to "hood of a cloak," then to "cloak" itself, though the various senses co-existed. O.E. took in two forms of the L.L. word, one meaning "head-covering," the other "ecclesiastical dress" (see cape (1)). In most Romance languages, a dim. of L.L. cappa has become the usual word for "head-covering" (cf. Fr. chapeau) (The real Türkic source, or at least the Etruscan borrowing is not mentioned out of sheer modesty, or not to burden the tired reader with superfluous details, I guess).
3 n - "garment," O.E. capa, from L.L. cappa "cape, hooded cloak" (see cap). The modern word and meaning were a re-borrowing (1565) from Fr., from Sp., in reference to a Sp. style (The real Türkic source, or at least the Etruscan borrowing...   etc)
4 n - cupola 1549, from L. cupula, dim. of cupa "cask, barrel" (The real Türkic source, or at least the Etruscan borrowing...   etc)
5 n -  - etc.............
