A word 'kepal' sounds similar to the Lithuanian word 'kepalas'. However, it looks like their meaning is completely different. :D

Haha, Malay is derived from many other languages - but chiefly Indian (Hindi) and even Chinese! 'Kepala' in Malay means 'head' :D 'Kepal' is a fistful, so I guess it's to mean the shaved ice that's shaped/formed by tightening the fist to shape the ice ball.
I see. :D In our language, 'kepalas' means 'a loaf'. Like 'a loaf of bread'. :D
