=tabean brirben= (kame), II, 217, 2, 4: printed by Herd, Tabean birben. Jamieson conjectured for Tabean, ‘made at Tabia, Italy.’ Dr C. Mackay very properly remarks that Tabia was not known as a place of manufacture for combs. He suggests a Gaelic origin: taobh, a side, taobhan, sides; bior, a pin, point, prickle, the tooth of a comb; bean, a woman; whence taobhan bior bean, the side comb of a woman. Whether this is good Gaelic, I am myself unable to say; but it is a simple criticism that a woman’s hair is not combed with a side-comb. The passage is undoubtedly corrupt.
