HAW (and BDB) treat KPR of Noah's ark (which is indeed Qal) as a
separate root - strangely enough also denominative from KOPER, in its
meaning "pitch".

"Village" is normally KFPFR (usually in construct form K:PFR), but the
form KOPER occurs with this meaning in 1 Samuel 6:18.

It seemed to me that the KPR-ing of Noah's ark was a qal
form.

"Village" - K:PfR differs in its vowel pointing.

This usage is also present in Hebrew - KoWP"R is is an
unbeliever, or "one who denies"; it is usually expressed as
KoWP"R B:(iYKfR - one who denies an essential [doctrine of
belief].
