German[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Low German Kribbe, from Middle Low German kribbe, from Old Saxon kribbia, from Proto-West Germanic *kribbjā, from Proto-Germanic *kribjǭ. Doublet of Krippe (“crib”).
For the sense compare Dutch kribbe, which also has it; perhaps originally referring to the crib- or trough-shaped spaces between the dams.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
Kribbe f (genitive Kribbe, plural Kribben)
- (regional, Northern Germany, Rhineland) Synonym of Buhne (“groyne, breakwater”)
