Proto-Celtic

Etymology

Uncertain; possibly related to *korbos (“wagon; basket”),[1] (whence Old Irish corb (“wagon”)), though its irregular *k-bʰ root shape and a-vocalism probably point to a substrate language borrowing.[2] Perhaps cognate with Latin corbis (“wicker-basket”)[3] Proto-Germanic *hrepaz (“basket”) (Old Norse hrip, Old High German ref), Lithuanian krẽpšas (“basket”), kar̃bas (“basket”), Russian короб (korob, “container”).
