Cognate to Aramaic גְּרַב (gəraḇ), גַּרְבָּא (garbā), Classical Syriac ܓܪܳܒܳܐ (gərāḇā, “skin bottle”), Late Babylonian 𒄖𒊏𒁍 (/⁠gurābu⁠/, “bag; bag around a jug”), Ge'ez ግራብ (gərab, “skin bottle”), Amharic ጊርባ (girba, “container for water or honey made from skin”). Arabic has the word in other shapes قِرْبَة (qirba) and قِرَاب (qirāb); see also جَوْرَب (jawrab).
