κάρβανος
Ancient Greek
editAlternative forms
edit- καρβάν (karbán)
Etymology
editUnknown. According to Kretschmer, it is from the toponym Qarbana in Egypt, whence the captive Danaans escaped to the Peloponnese. According to Hommel, this word is identical to κορβᾶν (korbân, “sacrificial gift”), which became an epithet for Phoenician merchants, but this is hardly convincing. Perhaps there is a relation with the name of the east wind in Cyrene, Κάρβας (Kárbas). According to Neumann, it is from Hittite [script needed] (kureṷana, “foreign state that is not a vassal”).
