Etymology 2
For the ending, Chantraine compared ὄτοβος (ótobos), κόναβος (kónabos) and θόρυβος (thórubos). Maybe of onomatopoeic origin. On the other hand, Akkadian 𒆕𒅗𒁀𒉡𒄷 (/kakkabānu/, “a bird, potentially the Barbary partridge for its neck pattern”, literally “covered with stars; speckled”) has also been compared. Alternatively, the Akkadian is derived as an Anatolian loan or of onomatopoeic origin with phono-semantic matching to designate such a native name. Günther Neumann suggests a Lydian origin, as there is Hittite 𒆕𒅗𒉺𒄷 (/kakkapa/) and with Ancient Greek κακκαβίς (kakkabís) the earliest form, which is reported to be onomatopoeic in nature, was attested by the poet Alcman suspected to originally been a native of Sardis.
