  1. verbal noun of تَبَنَّى (tabannā) (form V)

Etymology 2

Likely borrowed from Aramaic תִּבְנָא / ܬܒܢܐ (teḇnā, straw), which is suspected mainly because of the varying vocalization, and also because this root is underdeveloped or it has the unrelated meaning of a “bowl”. The Aramaic might in turn come from Akkadian 𒅔𒉡𒁕 (/⁠tibnu⁠/, straw) but can likewise be cognate. Else the word is only present in Hebrew תֶּבֶן (teḇen, straw), in which language there is nothing to relate to either.

Etymology 4

Uncertain with possible connection to Akkadian 𒋰𒉌𒌈 (/⁠tabnītu⁠/, an offering basket, a place to deposit tribute to a ruler or offerings before deities, literally well-arranged, well-made or constructed) and Akkadian 𒁀𒀀𒉡 (/⁠bānu⁠/, a ewer, vessel that fills up other vessels, literally that which does what it was made for; a by-name for a ewer in ritual texts), therefore distantly being connected to ب ن ي (b-n-y).
