conc

▪ Ultimately, all values in the root ǦBY may be derived from a basic *‘to gather, collect, amass, coagulate, etc.’, featuring in several extensions from ↗*ǦB- (cf., e.g., also ↗√ǦBʔ).
▪ ^†ǦBY_1 (≙ DRS #GBʔ/W/Y-1) : the notion of ‘collecting’ is the primary value, ‘levying taxes’ evidently being a later specialization.
▪ ^†ǦBY_2 : ? – perh. a folding/bringing-together of the limbs?
▪ ^†ǦBY_3 : Jeffery1938 reproduces Fraenkel’s view who would derive ǧābiyaẗ ‘pool, basin’ from Syr qabīṯā ‘cistern, collection of water’ (with Ar ǧ < Syr q). Against this etymology one may argue that ‘pool, basin’ can easily be linked to the basic notion of *‘collecting, gathering, amassing’ underlying both ǦBY_1 and (now extinct) ↗ǦBʔ; for the latter, cf., e.g., the obsolete ^†¹ǧabʔ (pl. ǧabʔaẗ, ǧibʔaẗ, ʔaǧbuʔ) ‘hollow of stagnating water’, i.e., *‘pit where water has assembled’.

1. 1 Akk ǧabb ‘totalité’ < *gabʔ-; Hbr gēb ‘fossé’ < *gebʔ? – Nab gbʔ perh. < Ar ǧubb (v.s. GBB), une forme Aram aurait été *gwbʔ; Har gäbti ‘porte’: from GBʔ or Galla gäfti? Cette derrière étymologie semble plus vraisemblable.
