c1350 in J. Tinniswood English galleys, 1272-1377 : Mariner's mirror v. 35 (1949) 292 The corbatons found at Bayonne, c. 1350, have something to do with knees or compass timber, for the N.E.D. records cour-baston to mean `futtock' in 16ll.
note: see OED2 futtock 1. quot. 1611
etym: see Kahane, Kahane & Tietze (1958) The Lingua Franca in the Levant 190 The nautical term [Turk. körbaston < Venetian *corbastón], the designation of the `small knee', spreads probably from Catalan, since it is there that the variant corbató develops from corbat `crooked'.
