Gothic

Etymology

Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἀλάβαστρον (alΓ‘bastron); this attested spelling with apparently superfluous -l- may well be a scribal error for *alabastraun, which would be closer to the Greek original. Compare also Latin alabastrum, alabaster.

Noun

πŒ°πŒ»πŒ°πŒ±πŒ°πŒ»πƒπ„π‚πŒ°πŒΏπŒ½ β€’ (alabalstraun) n

  1. (hapax legomenon) A type of alabastron; that is, a small container, perhaps a flask, phial or box, especially one containing ointments
