Etymology

edit

Inherited from Malay labu, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *labuq₂ (“the bottle gourd: Lagenaria siceraria”); reconstructed by Robert Blust (compare Tboli labuk (“the bottle gourd: Lagenaria siceraria”), Central Dusun hobuʔ (“calabash, type of gourd”));[1] alternatively, from Sanskrit अलाबु (alābu). Note that the reconstruction by Blust explained the final plosive in Tboli and Dusun that a derivation from Sanskrit cannot explain.

Noun

edit

labu (plural labu-labu)

  1. pumpkin (plant)
  2. (sciences) flask
    Labu Erlenmeyer ― Erlenmeyer flask
