The root ك ب ب(k-b-b) appears to include various meanings of “rolling over”. But according to Nişanyan, borrowed from Aramaic: compare Jewish Babylonian Aramaicכבבא(kbbʾ, “roasting of meat”), כיבה(kybʾ, “perhaps roasted meat”), which are from the verb כבב(kbb, “to burn, roast”), ultimately from Proto-Semitic*kabab-(“to burn, to roast”), whence also Akkadian𒅗𒁀𒁍(/kabābu/, “to burn”).
