Yes. It is found in a qal verb form in
Ex 26:9
וְחִבַּרְתָּ אֶת־חֲמֵשׁ הַיְרִיעֹת לְבָד וְאֶת־שֵׁשׁ הַיְרִיעֹת לְבָד וְכָפַלְתָּ אֶת־הַיְרִיעָה הַשִּׁשִּׁית אֶל־מוּל פְּנֵי הָאֹהֶל׃

and in Ex 28:6 and Ex 39:9

Niphal verb form in
Ez 21:19


You'll find segolate nouns
Jb 41:5
Jb 11:6
Is 40:2

And a curious derived form in references pertaining to the cave of maCPeLah
such as Gn 23:9
וְיִתֶּן־לִי אֶת־מְעָרַת הַמַּכְפֵּלָה אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ אֲשֶׁר בִּקְצֵה שָׂדֵהוּ בְּכֶסֶף מָלֵא יִתְּנֶנָּה לִי בְּתוֹכְכֶם לַאֲחֻזַּת־קָבֶר׃
