More evidence that kibosh (as in "put the kibosh on"), and kybosh, korbadj, kurbach, kourbach, qirbach, qurbash, courbache, corbage, kurbash, and now kurbaj mean whip, lash:

'...Eat all that is set before you, or, by the soul of Hosseyn, your back shall taste of the _kurbaj_ (whip) and the _mikraah_ (rod).'

Punch, or the London Charivari  vol. X (1846) p. 273, col. 2
[article title]"Egyptian Impressions"
{and note the PN Kybosh-... in col. 1]
