√QNː (QNN) 
n.f. 
bottle, glass bottle; flask, flacon, vial – WehrCowan1979. 
qinnīnaẗ ‘bottle, flask’ is probably from Aram qanīntā or what seems to be the latter’s origin, namely Grk káneon, káneion ‘basket; bowl’ (from Grk kánna ‘reed, cane’, cf. Ar ↗qanāẗ and ↗qānūn). In Eur langs, the value ‘can’ is usually believed to have developed from the same Grk kánna, via Lat canna ‘reed, cane; tube, pipe’, then also used in Roman pottery in the specific sense of earthen vessels having a tube.
