قيقب
Arabic
Etymology
From the root ق ب ب (q-b-b), meaning "the side of an animal", "the belly or abdomen", where the saddle rests; suggested by Lane to ultimately be onomatopoeic in origin from the sound of a rumbling stomach. Related to ق و ب (q-w-b), meaning "to carve, peel, or hollow out wood".
