Bac  quickstiert, wagtail,  wippstert,  vipstiert; also  σεισοπυγίς ltal. squassacoda, codatremola, cutretta, hoche-queue; but  andario, which meant lit ‘brook-trotter.’   ,, ‘a deep wooden dish, in which food is served for a certain number of the crew’; borrowed, like many technical terms of sea-life, from ; back, ‘dish,’  back (‘tub, vat’);   bac, ‘brewer’s vat or tub,’ borrowed from this word or the  bak. It has been derived from Late bacca, ‘water vessel,’ whence also  bac, ‘ferryboat,’  bak,  bac, ‘a flat-bottomed boat.’ Probably  is allied to it.   ,, ‘larboard,’ from ( the preceding word);   bakboord ( bœcbord), whence also the   bâbord;  ‘the left side of the ship to the back of the helmsman, who is steering with his right hand, the left hinder-part of the ship.’  and  back is an  word, which was, however, very early obsolete in  (see the following word);  bah,  bak,  bœc,  back,  bak, , ‘back,’  *bak,. From is also derived. See the latter.   ' (1.), ',, especially used in the compounds with , , hence the meaning, ‘buttock.’ The correct  form, which has the regular permutation of k to ch, is seen in  bache,  bahho, ‘ham, flitch of bacon’ (yet  also ars-backe, ), which as ‘bacon’ made its way into , and thence into  also. Although it has been connected by the linguistic instinct of with the following word, they are not allied; it is more probable that  and the stem bak, discussed under, is most closely connected with it.

' (2.),, , also ', (the latter  in the compounds , ), ‘cheek’; from  backe, , ‘jaw, jawbone, cheek.’  has the doublets baccho (whence the  and  ck) and bahho, which produce  bache. kinnebache beside kinnebacke, which compound too, even in (as chinni-bahho), is more frequent than the simple word;   kinni-bako,  kinnebakken. It is still uncertain whether bucca, ‘cheek,’ is allied to it; its initial b might have arisen from bh, as in barba (see ); but  the two differ in meaning; while the  signifies ‘the inflated cheek,’ the  word  denoted ‘jaw.’  ,, ‘to bake,’ from  backen, bachen,  ; doublets are found even in  bacchan, bahhan,  ;  cch is based upon the double consonants kk ( bakkeri, ‘baker,’  bakken, ‘to bake’); but ch presupposes a simple k. bacan,,  to bake, as well as  batch, from  bacche,  *bäcce, where cc points to the ck of the  word. Whether a *bakkan or *baqan,   must be presupposed is uncertain; the pre- form of the verbal root is Aryan bhō̆g, as is shown by its  kinship to  φώγω, ‘I roast’; the affinity of  fŏcus, ‘hearth,’ is doubtful.  ,, ‘bath,’ from the  bat(d),  bad, ;   bad,  bœþ,  bath,  bað, ‘bath.’ An important word in relation to the history of  civilisation; even the Roman writers testify that bathing ( further ) was a daily necessity to the Teutons. As a verb, a denominative was already formed in the dialects,  and , from  badôn,  baden,  baþian,  to bathe;  *baþôn is not recorded. The dental of the cognates is derivative, hence ba (Aryan bhâ) is the root syllable, (, in that case allied to it), to which banja, ‘bath,’ banjati, ‘to wash, bathe,’ belongs. —   , the name of a place, is   of, ‘at the baths’ (so too  Bath); probably an imitation of  aquae in names of places.   ,, ‘barber,’ from badœre, ‘one who looks after the bathers in the bath-house.’ “In the later period of the Middle Ages it was a custom to get the beard shaved and the hair cut by the  at the end of the bath.”    onomatopoetic term for the report of a gun; first occurs in. Allied to, ‘to bark,’ from  baffen, beffen;   baffen,  to beff; of recent  origin. <section begin="bätzen" /> , ‘to yelp,’ derivative of. <section end="bätzen" /> <section begin="bägern" /> , ‘to torment, plague,’ allied to  bâgan,  bâgen, , ‘to contend, quarrel.’ Akin to  bágim, ‘I contend,’ bág, ‘combat’; hence the Aryan root is bhêgh, bhôgh. <section end="bägern" />
