Proto-Celtic

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *kumbʰo-, *kumbʰéh₂-, either from Proto-Indo-European *keu- (“bend”) or borrowing from non-Indo-European source.[1][2][3][4] Proposed cognates include Proto-Germanic *kumbaz (“bowl, vat; valley”), Ancient Greek κύμβη (kúmbē, “basin, bowl”), Proto-Albanian *tˢumba[5] (compare Albanian sumbull (“round button, knob”)), Proto-Indo-Iranian *kʰumbʰas (“pot”) (compare Avestan 𐬑𐬎𐬨𐬠𐬀- (xumba-), Sanskrit कुम्भ (kumbha)).
