Etymology

From Old Armenian տապանակ (tapanak) and տապան (tapan), might be from Mesopotamian languages through Middle Persian, ultimately from a merger of Egyptian


(ḏbꜣt, sarcophagus, coffin) and


(dbt, chest, box); compare Demotic tbyt (sarcophagus, shrine, chest), dbt, and tbt (chest) and Coptic ⲧⲁⲓⲃⲉ (taibe, chest, coffin). Other later cognates might include Persian تبنگو (tabangu, a wicker-basket), Ottoman Turkish تبنكی (tebengi, wicker-basket), Tajik табангу (tabangu, basket) and Chagatai تبنگو (tebengü, saddle side).
