See καβάλλης in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ka.bál.lɛːs/, /kaˈβal.lis/, /kaˈva.lis/, /ka.bál.lɛːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /kaˈbal.le̝s/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /kaˈβal.lis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /kaˈval.lis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /kaˈva.lis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Like Latin caballus (“pack-horse”), is an Asiatic loan or Wanderwort. It has been compared with Proto-Slavic *kobýla (“mare”) and Persian کول (kaval, “second class horse of mixed blood”). Maybe borrowed from Proto-Iranian *kabah, *kabalah, compare Khotanese [script needed] (kabä, “horse”), and possibly cognate with Latin cabō (“gelding”), perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kebʰ- (“worn-out horse, nag”).
