Etymology: A technical term, with a formation similar to ἄμβων (ámbōn) and δόλων (dólōn), of uncertain origin. Possibly a non-Indo-European loan of sound-symbolic origin, particularly from a Mediterranean substrate language. Usually connected to Latin tībia (“shinbone; pipe, flute”), also of unclear origin.
