Etymology 2.1

Likely borrowed from Aramaic תִּבְנָא / ܬܒܢܐ (teḇnā, “straw”), which is suspected mainly because of the varying vocalization, and also because this root is underdeveloped or it has the unrelated meaning of a “bowl”. The Aramaic might in turn come from Akkadian 𒅔𒉡𒁕 (/⁠tibnu⁠/, “straw”) but can likewise be cognate. Else the word is only present in Hebrew תֶּבֶן (teḇen, “straw”), in which language there is nothing to relate to either.

Noun

تِبْن or تَبْن • (tibn or tabn) m (collective, plural أَتْبَان (ʔatbān))

Uncertain with possible connection to Akkadian 𒋰𒉌𒌈 (/⁠tabnītu⁠/, “an offering basket, a place to deposit tribute to a ruler or offerings before deities”, literally “well-arranged, well-made or constructed”) and Akkadian 𒁀𒀀𒉡 (/⁠bānu⁠/, “a ewer, vessel that fills up other vessels”, literally “that which does what it was made for; a by-name for a ewer in ritual texts”), therefore distantly being connected to ب ن ي (b n y).
