capital
kaph.tor denotes formed features of a lampstand, and in two scenes features associated with an altar or desolate structure.
The attested use is chiefly for formed features incorporated into the gold lampstand, repeatedly situated with its branches, cups, and flowers. Two further occurrences place the term in scenes involving an altar struck so that thresholds shake and a desolate structure where creatures lodge.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB consistently presents the term as "capital" or "capitals," in both lampstand descriptions and the altar and desolation scenes. Its wording confirms the verse-level presentation rather than isolating every contribution of the Hebrew form.
