/qaj.qab/

Uncertain, from the root ق ب ب (q b b), meaning “the side of an animal”, “the belly or abdomen”, where the saddle rests; the root suggested by Lane to ultimately be onomatopoeic in origin from the sound of a rumbling stomach. Related to ق و ب (q w b), meaning “to carve, peel, or hollow out wood”, see قَبْقَاب (qabqāb). Also relation to Classical Syriac ܩܘܒܬܐ originally meaning a vaulted structure, the sense of seat being post-Arabic influence, however suggests a connection perhaps with the vaulted dome or tent like howdah design, a woman's enclosed saddle.
