English (LSJ)

τά, castanets, Carm.Pop.3.

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

κρέμβᾰλα: τά, κρόταλα, ἅπερ εἶχον εἰς τοὺς δακτύλους αὑτῶν οἱ ὀρχούμενοι καὶ συνέκρουον αὐτὰ μετὰ ῥυθμοῦ πρὸς ὃν ἐγίνετο ἡ ὄρχησις, νῦν ὀνομάζονται Τουρκιστὶ «ζίλια», Ἀθήν. 636C· πρβλ. κρόταλον. (Πρβλ. Λατ. crepare, crepundiae).

French (Bailly abrégé)

ων (τά) :
castagnettes.
Étymologie: DELG rac. expressive, cf. κρόταλον.

Greek Monotonic

κρέμβᾰλα: τά, κρόταλα, θορυβώδη όργανα όπως οι καστανιέτες.

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: n. pl.
Meaning: clapper, castanets (Ath. 14, 636c, Carm. Pop. 3; on the facts Weber RhM 82, 194f.).
Derivatives: κρεμβαλιάζω play with c., clapper (Hermipp. 31; Schwyzer 735) with κρεμβαλιαστύς (h. Ap. 162; Zumbach Neuerungen 8, Porzig Satzinhalte 181; cf. on βαμβαίνω).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Technical word in -αλο- (κρόταλα, ῥόπαλον u. a.; Chantraine Formation 245 f.). Belongs to a group of sound-words, with anlaut (s)kr- and varying ending, a. o. a labial. Closest are Lat. crepō creak, Lith. skrebù, -ė́ti rustle Russ. kropotátь growl. [Gr. β cannot be due to the preceding nasal, as per Schwyzer 333]. - Pok. 569f. - The IE etym. does no explain the nasal; it rather points to a non-IE word, so poss. Pre-Greek; a word of this meaning can easily be a loan word.

Middle Liddell

κρέμβᾰλα, τά,
rattling instruments, like our castanets.

Frisk Etymology German

κρέμβαλα: {krémbala}
Grammar: n. pl.
Meaning: Klapper, Kastagnetten (Ath. 14, 636c, Carm. Pop. 3; zur Sache Weber RhM 82, 194f.).
Derivative: Davon κρεμβαλιάζω ‘mit K. spielen, klappern’ (Hermipp. 31; Schwyzer 735) mit κρεμβαλιαστύς (h. Ap. 162; Zumbach Neuerungen 8, Porzig Satzinhalte 181; vgl. auch zu βαμβαίνω).
Etymology: Technisches Wort auf -αλο- (κρόταλα, ῥόπαλον u. a.; Chantraine Formation 245 f.). Gehört zu einer großen Gruppe Schallwörtern, die einen Anlaut (s)qr- und einen wechselnden Auslaut, u. a. einen Labial, enthalten. Am nächsten kommen lat. crepō knarren, krachen, lit. skrebù, -ė́ti rascheln russ. kropotátь brummen; gr. β kann von der vorangehenden Nasalinfigierung bedingt sein (vgl. Schwyzer 333). — WP. 1, 415f., Pok. 569f.
