càbag

càbag
a cheese; Scottish cabback, kebbock. The latter form (kebbock) is probably from a Gaelic ceapag, cepag, obsolete in Gaelic in the sense of "a cheese", but still used for the thick wooden wheel of wheel-barrows; it is from Gaelic ceap. Scottish cabback is a side form of kebbock, and it seems to have been re-borrowed into Gaelic as càbag. The real Gaelic word for "a cheese" is now mulachag.
