Etymology: Sem. LW [loanword] (Hebr. sap etc.); E. Masson Recherches 44f. w. lit. After Neumann Glotta 37, 109f. (cf. Heubeck Praegraeca 36f.) to the Minoan (Linear A) vase des. su-pu. -- Whether σίφνις `id.' (Poll., H.) is at all cognate, remains doubtful (cf. on σιφνός); in any case there is no IE variation p σιπύη ph (Specht Ursprung 260). -- Here will belong Lat. simpulum, simpuvium. Also here σιβαία = πήρα. The variation proves that the word is Pre-Greek.
