Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: n.pl.
Meaning: ὀξυβάφια, ἤτοι τρυβλία H.
Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]
Etymology: Moutsos, Orbis 18 (1969) 535-540, argues, on the basis of Modern Greek forms, that γαβενον < *γαβινον < *καβινον, a derivative from κάβος; cf. γάβαθον.
