Same spelling in Hebrew - Tet, Bet, Ayin
It might be a different root from Tov, but it is still related;
according to our tradition, the Tet Bet in Teva and in Tov are not
accidental.
Teva probably derived from Tov.
So what is the root of Tov?? And what is the root of Teva??

Shoshanna, what is the Hebrew spelling of the word Teva = "nature"? It
doesn't seem to be biblical. But it seems very similar to an Arabic
for "nature", tab`, which is spelled with the equivalent of HebrewTOV.
tet-bet-ayin. But that would have to be a quite different root from
