𐌰𐌻𐌰𐌱𐌰𐌻𐍃𐍄𐍂𐌰𐌿𐌽

Gothic

Etymology

Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἀλάβαστρον (alábastron); this attested spelling with apparently superfluous -l- may well be a scribal error for *alabastraun, which would be closer to the Greek original. Compare also Latin alabastrum, alabaster.

Noun

𐌰𐌻𐌰𐌱𐌰𐌻𐍃𐍄𐍂𐌰𐌿𐌽 • (alabalstraun) n

1. (hapax) A type of alabastron; that is, a small container, perhaps a flask, phial or box, especially one containing ointments
