Latin[edit]

Etymology[edit]

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may have evolved from "stalk, reed pipe" to shinbone, the latter being used by Pliny and later authors; flutes were originally made from shinbones.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.

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

tībia f (genitive tībiae); first declension

  1. (anatomy) the large shin bone, tibia; leg
  2. (figuratively) a pipe, flute (originally of bone)
