قارب Boat

-->
Etymology of Arabic words: the word قارب
(karaba) means Boat and is probable that it derives from the greek word κάραβος (karavos) which originally had the meaning of crayfish and/or shrimp, but later its diminutive καράβιον (karavion) and further καράβι (karavi) has the meaning of big boat, ship.
