köken: From early modern (15th century) güpfel, diminutive of Middle High German gupf, gupfe (“highest point”), with further origin uncertain; perhaps related to German Kuppe. Cognate with Hunsrik Gippel, Vilamovian gejwuł. Compare Wipfel.
köken: Borrowed from Medieval Latin cenit, from Arabic سَمْت (samt, “direction, path”), from the fuller form سَمْت اَلرَّأْس (samt ar-raʔs, “direction of the head”). The -ni- for -m- is sometimes thought to be due to a misreading of the three strokes, which is plausible, though it could be a mere phonetic approximation.
top, peak, summit · climax, culmination, apex, vertex · one of the best in their field
çekim: çoğul huiput · tamlayan huipun
köken: Probably from hui (“spool”), like dialectal huitti, huittu "peak, top". The -pp- may be from suippo, suippu. A sound-symbolic blend is possible.
tip, point (the sharp end of a conical object) · top (the uppermost part of a tree, or of a tower tapering to a point) · peak, summit (the top of a hill, mountain or range, ending in a point)
çekim: çoğul csúcsok
köken: Uncertain, perhaps from Proto-Finno-Ugric *ćuća (“point, peak”), in which case related to Erzya цёцяня (ćoćańa).
The extreme end of a thing; the point, summit, top. · The small rod (generally of olive wood) at the top of the flamen's cap, wound around with a woolen cord or "thread". · The conical leathern cap of an ancient Roman priest (the Flamen), ornamented with this rod.
çekim: çoğul apicēs · tamlayan apicis
zıt: fundus
köken: From Proto-Italic *apeks, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ep- (“to join, fit”). De Vaan approches this connection with caution since a link with apiō is through some meanings feasible in addition to the observation that most ex, -icis are technical terms without Indo-European origin.
