[edit]Etymology
[edit]Also attested as Dacian κινούβοιλα (kinoúboila).[1][2] From a Proto-Indo-European plant name, compound of *ḱwṓ, *ḱun- (“dog”) and *h₂ébōl (“apple”),[n 2] whence also Lithuanian šunobelė (“buckthorn”),[1][2][3] and disputedly also Albanian thënukël (“dogberry”).[4] The initial ⟨s-⟩ ~ ⟨d-⟩ stands for [θ-] ~ [ð-], the expected satem outcome of the original *ḱ-.[n 3] The shift of the [-a-] to [-u-] can be explained as regressive assimilation of the following vowel, written ⟨-y-⟩ ~ ⟨-u-⟩,[1] though we cannot rule out a possible influence of the Dacian form, where such shift is expected.[1]
