"波布" meaning in Japanese

See 波布 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ha̠bɯ̟] Forms: 波布 [canonical] (ruby: (), ()), 波布 [canonical] (ruby: 波布(ハブ)), habu [romanization], 飯匙倩 [alternative], ハブ [alternative]
Etymology: Borrowed from Okinawan 蛇(はぶ) (habu, “snake”). Likely cognate with Japanese 蛇(へび) (hebi, “snake”). * Possibly an alteration from 反鼻 (hanbi), an obsolete term for a kind of Chinese medicine made from the skin and/or organs of certain venomous snakes. * More likely, may be an alteration from 蛇(へび) (hebi, “snake”). Some dialects distinguish between non-poisonous hebi and poisonous habi. * Possibly also related to, or influenced by, Old Japanese-derived verb 食(は)む (hamu, “to bite”). An /m/ - /b/ alternation can be found in some Japanese words, so a shift from hamu to habu is a reasonable possibility. The standard modern Japanese word hebi for “snake” may similarly be derived from, or have been influenced by, hamu “to bite”. The kanji spelling 波布 is an example of ateji, with the characters chosen purely for their phonetic values.
