Napkin is from the Greek word soudarion which means a cloth for wiping perspiration from the face and for cleaning the nose and also used in swathing the head of a corpse. From Strongs Greek dictionary of the New Testament
How does this preclude the authenticity of the shroud? It can swath the head of the corpse after the shroud is in place.
