καρπόςwrist
verbStrong class 3to turn; turn aroundto move; move aboutto changeUncertain. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *kʷerp-, in which case the original form would have been *hwerfaną. If so, then it might be related to Ancient Greek καρπός (karpós, ‘wrist’), though deriving the latter from a root with initial labiovelar presents difficulties.
