κοσύμβη
Ancient Greek
editAlternative forms
edit- κοσσῠ́μβη (kossúmbē)
Etymology
editLewy compares Akkadian 𒆪𒍦𒁍 (ku-zip-pu /kuzippu, guzippu/, “cloak”), Arabic كُرْسُف (kursuf, “cotton”). Pre-Greek origin is likely, given the prenasalization and similar words like κόσυμβος (kósumbos, “hairnet”), κότθυβος (kótthubos, “piece of military equipment”) and κοσυβάτας (kosubátas, “sacrificer”). This does not exclude that the word is found in Semitic too, since it may be an old Kulturwort.
