Where it comes from

Paralleling Ancient North Arabian 𐪒𐪌𐪋𐪈𐪉 (ʿnkbt, “spider”). Also found as Hebrew עַכָּבִישׁ (ʿakkābīš, “spider”) and Aramaic עַכָּבִיתָא (ʿakkāḇīṯā) / עַכּוּבִיתָא (ʿakkūḇīṯā, “spider”). For the formation compare Aramaic חִפּוּשִׂיתָא / חִיפּוּשִׂיתָא (ḥippūśīṯā, “beetle”) (source of خُنْفُسَاء (ḵunfusāʔ)). If formed the same, to be juxtaposed with عَكِبَ (ʕakiba, “to have a heavy chin and thick lips; to have the fingers or toes set close together”) and عَكْب (ʕakb, “agile”).
