>> the plural of kippah is not kippahs but kippot.

That’s the plural in Hebrew, not English. “Kippahs” works just fine. To English only speakers the Hebrew plural sounds too much like “tea pot”.

How about “skullcap” in the title - that’s a flowering plant.

And “yarmulke”? That’s Yiddish - a language specifically rejected by the founders of modern day Israel. (I know - I worked with some of the men who were on the aviation team that brought those words into 20th Century Hebrew using biblical Hebrew root words. Example: “Radar” combined the ancient words “far” and “look”.)

You mean the English word “Radar”? All the books I read say that’s an acronym derived from the phrase Radio Detection And Ranging.

The English word “television” comes from Greek and Latin words meaning “far” and “look” respectively, too.
