ceber

noun. stake, spike, stake, spike; [N.] ?limestone

A word for a “stake” or “spike” in the name Sarn Gebir “Stone-spikes” (RC/327; SA/sarn).

Conceptual Development: The Etymologies of the 1930s had N. ceber under the root ᴹ√KEPER “knob, head, top” >> “ridge” (Ety/KEPER). This word ceber had difficult-to-read glosses, possibly “limestone”, “linestone”, or “lonestone” (EtyAC/KEPER). This entry in The Etymologies was struck through.
