köken: A Wanderwort, probably from northwestern Indo-Aryan: compare Punjabi ਟੱਬਰ (ṭabbar, “extended family”), Urdu ٹَبَّر (ṭabbar, “extended family”, borrowed from Punjabi), and Pashto ټبر (ṭabə́r, “tribe, clan, people”). Note that the Pashto is clearly borrowed from Indo-Aryan, given the presence of retroflex /ʈ/. However, the word does not have a clear Sanskrit etymology either.
