# κακκάβη
## Ancient Greek
### Pronunciation

* IPA: /kak.ká.bɛː/ → /kaˈka.βi/ → /kaˈka.vi/
* (5th BCE Attic) IPA: /kak.ká.bɛː/
* (1st CE Egyptian) IPA: /kakˈka.be̝/

* (10th CE Byzantine) IPA: /kaˈka.vi/
* (15th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA: /kaˈka.vi/

### Etymology 1

Technical loanword of unknown origin. Given the variations and the variant in Latin cascabus, cited by Furnée, the word is likely to be Pre-Greek.

#### Alternative forms

* κᾰκᾰ́βη (kakábē)
* κᾰ́κκᾰβος (kákkabos), κᾰ́κᾰβος (kákabos)

#### Noun

κᾰκκᾰ́βη • (kakkábē) f (genitive κᾰκκᾰ́βης); first declension
* three legged pot

##### Derived terms

* ἁλικάκκαβον (halikákkabon)

### Etymology 2

For the ending, Chantraine compared ὄτοβος (ótobos), κόναβος (kónabos) and θόρυβος (thórubos). Maybe of onomatopoeic origin. On the other hand, Akkadian 𒆕𒅗𒁀𒉡𒄷 (/⁠kakkabānu⁠/, “a bird, potentially the Barbary partridge for its neck pattern”, literally “covered with stars; speckled”) has also been compared. Alternatively, the Akkadian is derived as an Anatolian loan or of onomatopoeic origin with phono-semantic matching to designate such a native name. Günther Neumann suggests a Lydian origin, as there is Hittite 𒆕𒅗𒉺𒄷 (/⁠kakkapa⁠/) and with Ancient Greek κακκαβίς (kakkabís) the earliest form, which is reported to be onomatopoeic in nature, was attested by the poet Alcman suspected to originally been a native of Sardis.
Note also Proto-Georgian-Zan *ḳaḳab-.

#### Noun

κᾰκκᾰ́βη • (kakkábē) f (genitive κᾰκκᾰ́βης); first declension
* partridge

##### Synonyms

* (partridge): πέρδιξ (pérdix)
