...caul(E)=woman's close-fitting cap, hairnet; investing membrane, omentum
ome(N)=2, amnion(from amniotic fluid). on delivery the baby may be wrapped in a thin or thick membrane, sometimes covering the entire body or a part, e.g., only the head. the midwife will have to puncture the membrane around the child's nose so s/he can breath, then with a paper rub off the caul= c/saol/aul=saol(OE)=soul(E), being careful to not take away the flesh beneath.
...cale(OFr)=head-covering, but the English word is recorded earlier,=

...births with caul are rare: one in 80k. the caul itself is set aside
to be later sold to sailors(England)who use it as talisman against drowning. the only cauls in use today are helmet liners for sport/military, made of wool for cold weather, or thinner fabric for temperate climes.
