An Iranian borrowing, found as Classical Syriac ܐܪܕܒܐ (ʾardbā), ܐܪܕܒܩܐ (ʾardbaqqā), ܐܪܕܒܟܐ (ʾardbakkā), ܕܥܒܒܘܩܐ (daʿbukkā), ܕܥܒܘܟܐ (darbukkā), Jewish Babylonian Aramaic דבוכא (/*dabbukkā/), maybe mediated via Classical Syriac ܕܥܒܘܟܐ (darbukkā, darbūkā) specifically and ultimately the same word as Persian دنبک (donbak) which is the same kind of drum.
