When referring to the element, would it be more correct to call it a
"Kepi Cap" or a "Kepi Hat"? (I realize that it might be most correct
simply to call it a "Kepi"[1] but I figure the redundancy can't hurt.
Leaning toward "Kepi Cap" at the moment, since "cap" is what the dictionary
calls it.)

understand correctly.
