French (Bailly abrégé)
ων (οἱ) :
Cabires, n. de trois, ou, sel. d’autres, quatre fils d’Héphaïstos, honorés à Samothrace, Lemnos et Imbros.
Greek Monolingual
Κάβειροι, οἱ (Α)
1. μυστηριώδεις δευτερεύουσες θεότητες που λατρεύονταν από τους Πελασγούς στη Λήμνο, στη Σαμοθράκη, στη Μίλητο και στη Βοιωτία («ὅστις δὲ τὰ Καβείρων ὄργια μεμύηται», Ηρόδ.)
2. τίτλος δράματος του Αισχύλου.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Άγνωστης ετυμολ. Πιθ. λ. μικρασιατικής προελεύσεως. Η σύνδεση της λ. με αρχ. ινδ. Kubera- «κύριος τών πνευμάτων του σκότους» είναι αβέβαιη.
ΠΑΡ. αρχ. καβειραίος, Καβειρίδες, καβειρικός, καβείριος, Καβειρώ].
Greek Monotonic
Κάβειροι: οἱ, οι Κάβειροι, θεότητες που λατρεύονταν σε Λήμνο και Σαμοθράκη και θεωρούνταν γιοι του Ηφαίστου, από την ικανότητά τους στην κατεργασία μετάλλων, σε Ηρόδ.
Russian (Dvoretsky)
Κάβειροι: οἱ Кабиры (древние пеласгические божества, которых чтили как помощников Гефеста, преимущественно на о-вах Лемнос, Имброс и Самофракия) Her. etc.
Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: m. pl.
Meaning: name of chthonic gods, esp. on Samothrace and Lemnos as well as in Boeotia (Pi., Hdt., inscr.).
Other forms: Κάβειροι καρκίνοι (crab, pair of pincers) H.; whether there is any relation with the gods, is unknown.
Derivatives: Καβειρίδες (νύμφαι); Καβειρώ mother of the C.; Καβεὶριον sanctuary of the C.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Not with Wackernagel KZ 41, 316ff. = Kl. Schr. 1, 505ff. (also on olderr interpretations) to Skt. Kúbera-, s. Mayrhofer KEWA s. v. The root of the name is clearly the same as that in Κάβαρνοι. This root must have been Pre-Greek *Kabary. The palatalized consonant explains a > ä, ε, and the ι; before the ν the palatal character was neglected. Beekes, Mnemosyne LVII (2004) 465-477. Lit. Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1, 670ff. B. Hemberg.
