CULPA(BLE) K[H]eRPaH Het-Resh-Pey-Hey

ROOTS: CULPABILITY is from Latin culpa (fault, blame).
חרפה K[H]eRPaH is shame, outrage, abuse; חרף K[H]aRaPH is to revile in Isaiah 37:23.
An M132 metathesis away, חפר K[H]aPHaiR is covered by shame (Psalms 71:24).
The connection to CULPA is more חריף K[H]aReeYPH (sharp) if one keeps in mind that guilt evokes shame, see ”SHAME,”
and that blaming meant cursing and reviling. See the "BLAME" entry.
and that blaming meant cursing and reviling. See the "BLAME" entry.
כפר KaPaiR, to cover by forgiveness or expiation of sin (Exodus 32:30), is only a metathesis away.
BRANCHES: Follow the throaty gutturals, lip-made bilabials and tongue-made liquids:
The guilty, MEA CULPA person who realizes that he has erred, who’s innate godly conscience makes him החפיר HeK[H]PeeYR (ashamed), can החפיר HeK[H]LeeYPH (change, renew) himself and earn כפור KeePOOR, atonement or expiation.
Yom Kippur or יום כפורoffers forgiveness for the CULPABLE, it “covers” them – see “COVER.”
