[edit]Etymology
[edit]From earlier تَوَبُوت (tawabūt) or تَاوْبُوَّة (tāwbuwwa), from Classical Syriac ܬܝܒܘܬܐ (tēḇūṯā) or Ge'ez ታቦት (tabot). Cognate with Hebrew תיבה (tevá).
Ultimately from a merger of Egyptian
(ḏbꜣt, “sarcophagus, coffin”) and
(dbt, “chest, box”); compare Demotic tbyt (“sarcophagus, shrine, chest”), dbt, and tbt (“chest”) and Coptic ⲧⲁⲓⲃⲉ (taibe, “chest, coffin”).
