Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *paːs): phonetic 父 (OC *paʔ, *baʔ) + semantic 巾 (“kerchief”). ;"to spread out" (tr.) ;"cloth" :Additionally, Schuessler suggests that the Austroasiatic word was the source of Sanskrit कर्पास (karpāsa) & Ancient Greek κάρπασος (kárpasos). Still, earlier Johnson & Decker (1980) stated that "the problem of etymological origin of karpāsa has not been resolved".
