when I was collecting body part terms for C-a
research, I found the following:
CAPUT
Romanian cap
Occitan cap
Catalan cap
Spanish cabeza
Italian capoccia
Vegliot kup
Portuguese cabeca (with c-cedilla)
Corsican capu
Aragonese capeza
Asturian cabeza
Bergamasco co/ (??)
Bresciano co/ (??)
Calabrese capa, capu
Galician cabeza
Judeo-Spanish kabesa
Lombardo Occ. coo (??)
Neapolitan capa
Romantsh chau (??)
Valencian cap
Venetian capocia
Viestano chep' (??)
TESTA
Italian testa
Sicilian testa
French te^te
Occitan te\sta
Catalan testa
Spanish testa
Corsican te/sta
Dzorata^i ti^ta
Galician testa
Leonese tiesta
Mantuan testa
Mudne/s testa
Parmigiano testa
Piemontese testa
Reggiano te\sta
Triestino testa
Venetian testa
Zeneize testa
In addition to these I found
Sardinian konka < concham
French cra^ne <cranium
Bolognese zo/cc
Marchijiano zocca
Romagnolo zoca < ????
Ladino a~e < ???
Several of these langs obviously have both a CAPUT and
a TESTA derived term. Often one is metaphorical, but
is that true for all of them?
In Carrajena I calqued TESTA with a Punic term for cup
and ended up with agan~u.
