ken's right -

We have to decide which of the two Italian words
we're dealing with
capel "head" like "capellini - angel hair pasta
(or, "head" - voice)

cappell "church" or "chapel" - like - nothing
or "hat", "cap"

it is a bit of hairsplitting, but I'll stand by my
one p statement. At least they both deal
with the head.
