Oh boy...the rabbit hole goes deeper! In ancient Egyptian texts and mythology, "kapash" (also spelled "khapash" or "khopesh") refers to a type of curved sword. The kapash/khopesh was depicted as a favored weapon of Egyptian gods like Montu and Amun. That's pretty foreboding given the poem haha....

כפש is apparently Aramaic for the verb "to supplicate: to ask, pray, or make a request."

Kapash also seems like "capisci" in Italian: Understand?
