jabberv.

Brit. /ˈdʒabə/, U.S. /ˈdʒæbər/
Forms: Also Middle English–1500s iaber.
Etymology: apparently onomatopoeic, with the form of a frequentative; with jabber , jabble , compare gab , gabber , gabble ; also yabber ; the phonetic relation between these is not clear. An earlier form in the Promptorium manuscripts is javer v., which in Pynson's ed. became jaber.
