Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: adj.
Meaning: γελοιαστής, σκωπτής (`jester, scoffer'), λοιδοριστής.
Other forms: κόβειρα (ntr. pl.) γελοῖα H.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Hemberg, Die Kabiren 1950, 326 refers to the grotesque pictures of the Kabeiroi in Thebes. An α can vary with ο in Pre-Greek (Fur. 341-5). So our word is identical with the word Κάβειρος.
