تبن

تَبَنٍّ • (tabannin) m (construct state تَبَنِّي (tabannī))

1. verbal noun of تَبَنَّى (tabannā) (form V)
2. adoption

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.

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

1. straw; hay

Denominal verb of تِبْن (tibn, “straw”). In the “to bung” sense allegedly motivated by Spanish taponar.

تَبَنَ • (tabana) I (non-past يَتْبِنُ (yatbinu), verbal noun تَبْن (tabn))

تَبَّنَ • (tabbana) II (non-past يُتَبِّنُ (yutabbinu), verbal noun تَتْبِين (tatbīn))

1. to feed with straw
2. to bung, to cork

تَبْن • (tabn) m

1. verbal noun of تَبَنَ (tabana, “to give straw to”)

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).

تِبْن • (tibn) m

1. a great bowl that can satisfy the thirst of twenty, a vessel used to fill drinking cups
2. a generous chieftain, one who gives large amounts
3. a wolf for its thirst for blood being likened to a great vessel's amount

Like the more productive root ط ب ن (ṭ b n), from which there is with the like meanings طَبِنَ (ṭabina) and طَبِن (ṭabin).
