Etymology

[edit]

From Malay labu, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *labuq₂ (the bottle gourd: Lagenaria siceraria); reconstructed by Robert Blust (compare Tboli labuk (the bottle gourd: Lagenaria siceraria), Central Dusun hobuʔ (calabash, type of gourd));[1] alternatively, from Sanskrit अलाबु (alābu). Note that the reconstruction by Blust explained the final plosive in Tboli and Dusun that a derivation from Sanskrit cannot explain.
