What is the difference between a Yarmulke skullcap and a Kippot skullcap?

It is my understanding that Kippot is plural for Kippa which is the same thing as a Yarmulke.

I think we'll need somebody like Leppi in on this She'll Know the difference

So you're saying my answer means nothing, huh Bedstor? Guess it doesn't matter that I have Jewish friends that I go to when I have a question, huh? OK, I got it....I'm taking my toys and going home now. In the meantime, you might enjoy this little tidbit of info:

A yarmulke (Yiddish יאַרמלקע yarmlke) or Kippah (Hebrew "כִּפָּה" kippāh, plural kippot) is a thin, usually slightly rounded cloth cap worn by Jews. Yarmulkes range in size from 4" in diameter to 9 1/2" (100 mm to 240 mm) or larger.

Wikipedia

I think Georgia is right - it's the same thing, simply said in two different languages.

"Appropriately, the Yiddish word for head covering, 'yarmulke,' comes from the Aramaic, yira malka, which means 'awe of the King.' In Hebrew, the head covering is called 'kippah' -- literally 'dome.'"

Well I did not know that Thank you.
I know very little about either language
Georgia... I'll find something soon that you'll be the only person on the site with the answer to the question

"What is the difference between a Yarmulke skullcap and a Kippot skullcap?" - Bedstor

So then the difference is that the two words are from two different languages and the latter word is plural. It seems to me that the two different language part is just as important, if not more so, than the plural part, but that information was not offered until after Bedstor's second post.

The plural part was mentioned in the first response but true, I did not specify that they were different languages. I was focusing on what they were which are cloth caps.

Another question springs to mind .I'm sure a few people would want to know this
What is the proper name for the Skullcap that the Pope or Christian clergy wears?

The pope's skullcap is called a scullcap, although there is an Italian word for it, of course. In Italian, a skullcap is a zucchetto. Priests wear black, bishops wear purple, cardinals wear red, and the Pope wears white. A black zucchetto with red trim is often worn by a monsignor. Only bishops and above wear a zuchetto while performing the Mass.
Zucchetto comes from the Italian word for gourd, which is zuccha. (Our English word zucchini also comes from Zucchetto.) It is easy to see that a skullcap looks like part of a round gourd.

After posting about the Pope's skullcap, I did some reading, and it seems that a zucchetto is a "beanie" in Italian.
