"κρέμβαλα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κρέμβαλα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /krém.ba.la/, /ˈkrem.ba.la/, /ˈkrem.ba.la/, /krém.ba.la/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈkrem.ba.la/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈkrem.ba.la/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈkrem.ba.la/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈkrem.ba.la/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The suffix -αλ- is found also in κρόταλον (krótalon), ῥόπαλον (rhópalon) and other loanwords. Connection with Latin crepō (“to rattle, creak”), Lithuanian skrebeti (“to rustle”) and Russian кропота́ть (kropotátʹ, “to grumble”) is impossible, as Greek "β" cannot be due to the proceeding nasal. This nasal rather points to a Pre-Greek word.
