Etymology: No known cognates, therefore probably from Pre-Greek. Alternatively from Proto-Indo-European *kewb(ʰ)- (“to bend, bulge; protrusion, hill, bowl”) (cf. Proto-Slavic *kubъ (“bucket”), perhaps also Ancient Greek κύβος (kúbos, “hollow in the hips”)), but the presence of *b is suspicious and the semantics are distant.
