'Pebble' is from Old English PAPOL in PAPOLSTĀN. Perhaps, from the root of Latin PAPULA (pustule, pimple). Other possible origins are more dubious, such as Greek PSĒPHOS (pebble) < PSĀŌ (I crumble away); since there are no known intermediate derivatives here. Very remotely has it an ultimate pre-historic root = √*B(h)ĀB(h)A (rounded object, bean). Compare Spanish BABUINO (pustule on lips)Andrew H. Gray 21:09, 24 September 2015 (UTC) and remotely, Basque BABA (broad bean and blister on the skin). Andrew (talk) Andrew H. Gray 09:38, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply 

 means 'Absolutely not;  means 'Exceedingly unlikely';  means 'Very dubious';  means 'Questionable';  means 'Possible';  means 'Probable';  means 'Likely';  means 'Most Likely' or *Unattested;  means 'Attested';  means 'Obvious' - only used for close matches within the same language or dialect, at linkable periods. √ means original or earliest root.
