"tibia" meaning in Latin

See tibia in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈtiː.bi.a] [Classical-Latin], [ˈt̪iː.bi.a] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Meaning may have evolved from "stalk, reed pipe" to shinbone, the latter being used by Pliny and later authors; flutes were originally made from shinbones. Possibly connected to Ancient Greek σίφων (síphōn, “siphon, tube”), the irregular forms suggesting a non-Indo-European loan or substrate source, perhaps in *twi-. There are no solid IE cognates outside of the Greek word, though comparisons to Proto-Slavic *stьbъ (“stalk”) have been drawn.
