▪ The words for ‘capers’ in other Eur langs are akin to Ar kabar (~ kabbār), though not borrowed from the Ar word itself. Rather, they go back to Lat capparis (like the Ar term from Grk): Fr câpres; Engl capers, Ge Kapern, Kappern; Ru kapersy, Bulg kapari, Serb kapre, kapra, Cz kapary, kaparky, Pol kapary, kaparki [vgl. nGrk kapárr)].
 
No derivates. – For other items of the root cf. ↗KBR, ↗kabīr, ↗kūbrī, ↗kabārēh, ↗kabūriyā.
