قرنبى

/qa.ran.baː/

Where it comes from

Possibly shares the same origin as Ancient Greek κεράμβυξ (kerámbux), as both follow the pattern of "voiceless stop - vowel - [r] - vowel - voiced nasal - [b] - vowel," though the Ancient Greek term is followed by a consonant whereas the Arabic is not. This could also be a phono-semantic matching from the modern translingual Cerambyx. Compare a similar case of possible loanage from either Latin carabus or Ancient Greek κάραβος (kárabos) to Arabic قَارِب (qārib).

noun قَرَنْبَى · qaranbā
