gabata

== Latin == === Alternative forms === gā̆vata gabatha (often in manuscripts) === Etymology === Akin to the Byzantine Greek γαβάθα (gabátha) and the Hesychian γαβαθόν (gabathón). Traditionally said to be from cavus (“hollow”) according to Lewis and Short and Isidore of Seville (see below). But more likely a Semitic borrowing: compare Ugaritic 𐎖𐎁𐎓𐎚 (qbʿt, “goblet”), Hebrew קֻבַּעַת (qubbáʿaṯ, “cup, goblet”), Akkadian 𒋡𒍠 (qa.ZAG /⁠qabūtu⁠/, “cup”), in Emar 𒄣𒉺𒄷 (qu-ba₂-ḫu /⁠qubbaʿu⁠/), قُبَع (qubaʕ, “bugle, trumpet”), قُبْعَة (qubʕa, “calix of a flower”), قَعْب (qaʕb, “cup”), Phoenician 𐤒𐤁𐤏 (qbʿ, “cup, goblet”), Imperial Aramaic 𐡒𐡁𐡏𐡀 (qbʿʾ), Classical Syriac ܩܘܒܥܐ (qubbəʿā, quḇʿā, “calyx of a flower”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈɡa.ba.ta] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈɡaː.ba.ta] === Noun === gabata f (genitive gabatae); first declension A kind of dish or platter assumed to be made out of precious material. c. 91 CE, Martial, Epigrammata 7.48.3: Trānscurrunt gabatae volantque lancēs. Platters run by and dishes fly. 96 CE, Martial, Epigrammata 11.31.18–19: Sīc implet gabatās paropsidasque,et lēvēs scutulās cavāsque lancēs.
