Ancient Greek edit
Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
Except for the ending, this word could be identical to Proto-Germanic *hōbō (“piece of land”), from Proto-Indo-European *keh₂po- (“land, garden”). Albanian kopsht (“garden”) also belongs here. Further connections with κάπετος (kápetos, “ditch, trench”), Latin capiō (“to seize, capture”) and Old High German habaro (“oats”) are either uncertain or wrong.
