== Indonesian == === Etymology === Inherited from Malay kapur, from Proto-Malayic *kapur, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *qapuʀ, from Proto-Austronesian *qapuʀ (“lime, calcium”). Doublet of kamper. The initial k- is unexplained (expected reflex is *hapur) and may indicate an alternate byform *kapuʀ according to Blust and Trussel. First attested in Quran surah Al-Insan (Chapter 76) verse 5, c. 628 AD, as a loanword in Classical Arabic كَافُور (kāfūr). === Pronunciation === (Standard Indonesian) IPA(key): /ˈkapur/ [ˈka.pʊr] Rhymes: -apur Syllabification: ka‧pur === Noun === kapur (plural kapur-kapur) lime (any inorganic material containing calcium, usually calcium oxide (quicklime) or calcium hydroxide (slaked lime)) chalk a soft, white, powdery limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) a piece of chalk, or nowadays processed compressed gypsum (calcium sulfate, CaSO4), that is used for drawing and for writing on a blackboard (chalkboard) Synonym: kapur tulis Cretaceous (geologic period within the Mesozoic) === Verb === kapur (active mengapur, passive dikapur) (transitive) to whitewash (to paint over with a lime and water mixture so as to brighten up a wall or fence) === Hyponyms === === Derived terms === === References === Mayrhofer, Manfred (2001), Etymologisches Wörterbuch des Altindoarischen [Etymological Dictionary of Old Indo-Aryan]‎[1] (in German), volume III, Heidelberg: Carl Winter Universitätsverlag, page 68 Mayrhofer, Manfred (1956), Kurzgefasstes Etymologisches Wörterbuch des Altindischen [A Concise Etymological Sanskrit Dictionary]‎[2] (in German), volume I, Heidelberg: Carl Winter Universitätsverlag, page 175 Lokotsch, Karl (1927), Etymologisches Wörterbuch der europäischen Wörter orientalischen Ursprungs (in German), Heidelberg: Carl Winter’s Universitätsbuchhandlung, § 1100, page 88b == Malay == === Etymology === From Proto-Malayic *kapur, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *qapuʀ, from Proto-Austronesian *qapuʀ (“lime, calcium”). Cognate with Tagalog apog (“lime”), Tsou hapuyu (“lime”), Eastern Cham ꨆꨚꨭꨩ (kapū). The initial k- is unexplained (expected reflex is *hapur) and may indicate an alternate byform *kapuʀ according to Blust and Trussel. Doublet of kamfor. Compare the Austroasiatic loanwords: Proto-Mon-Khmer *knpur (“lime”) (whence Khmer កំបោរ (kɑmbao, “lime, quicklime; plaster”), Middle Mon gapuiw (“lime”) > Mon ဂပဵု (həpɒ, “lime, stalked lime”), Vietnamese vôi (“lime”), Muong pôl (“lime”)), as well as Khmer កប៌ូរ (kāpōr, “camphor”) and possibly Sanskrit कर्पूर (karpūra). Note also Thai ปูน (bpuun, “lime”). Mayrhofer explains the anlaut variation observed in the descendants by the Austronesian prefix-variation kar- : kam- : ka-, which makes this one of the wanderwords attested to originate from Malay.
