Bat  ,, ‘a coin’ (about a penny), from batze, , ‘small coin of the town of Bern with the Bernese coat of arms, a bear’ ( betz,  , );  ,. Hence bezzo, ‘money.’   ,, ‘construction, structure,’ from the  and  bû,. See,.   ,, ‘belly, bulge,’ from the  bûch,  bûh (hh), ; the corresponding  bûc (  buck, ‘the inner part of a carriage’) has the same meaning;  búkr, ‘body, waist.’ It is uncertain whether  belongs to the  root bhuj (  fungor), ‘to take food,’ or to  bhuj, ‘to bend’ (,  ‘the flexible part’), Perhaps it is connected with Gr φύσκα (for φυγσκα?), ‘stomach, blister’?. It is certainly not akin to bodig,  body,  botah, ‘body,’ nor is it allied to  φαγεῖν, ‘to eat’ ( bhaj, ‘to enjoy, partake of’).  ,, ‘to steep in hot lye’ ( büken, bûken), from the   bûchen,  *bûhhên;  to buck ( to bouk), for which even a term bouken occurs a few times, points to  *bûcian; to these  byka,  bauka, and  boykja, are allied. The word is, moreover, diffused through most of the languages, and correctly represents  bûchen; only in the  dialect is the word unrecorded. Hence the existence of a verbal root bûk (to which  bûc, ‘pail,’ is allied?) is undoubted, and the  cognate,  buer ( bucare), ‘to wash,’ is more probably borrowed from the  than vice versâ. The origin of  ( boukat, ‘to soften’) is impossible.  , see.  ,, ‘to build, construct, cultivate,’ from bûwen,  and  bûan (weak  with traces of a strong inflexion), ‘to dwell, inhabit, till, plant’; with regard to the meaning ‘to dwell,’  , , and. To the bûan corresponds  bauan, ‘to dwell, inhabit.’ The root, in accordance with the law of the permutation of consonants, is pre- bhû, which, on comparison with  bhû,  φύω,  fui (futurus), &c., must mean ‘to be, become, arise, beget.’ With the same root are connected the following nouns, which are of importance in determining its primary  sense:  bhûmis, ‘earth,’ bhûtis, ‘existence,’ φῦμα, ‘produce’ ( also ), φύσις, ‘nature,’ φῦλον, φυλή, ‘tribe, race.’   (1.), and, ‘birdcage,’ a word foreign to the  dialects, from  bûr, used only in the sense of ‘sojourn, birdcage;’ but  bûr has the further meaning of ‘house, chamber.’  bûr, ‘dwelling’ (to which  neighbour from  neahgebur is related; similarly the more general meaning of  appears in  ),  bower, with which   bire (‘cowhouse’),  bŷre, is connected. The pre- form would be bhûró, with ro as a suffix. See the three following words.

 (2.),, in , , ‘tiller,’ from bûwœre,  bûâri ( *bauareis is wanting), the term for the agent, from.

 (3.),, ‘rustic, peasant,’ historically and etymologically different from (2.), for the  form is gebûr,  gibûro, , which belongs to the  bûr, ‘dwelling,’ discussed under  (1.), and means  ‘co-dweller, joint-occupier,’ then ‘neighbour, fellow-citizen’ ( , ‘one who shares the same room’), and at a later period ‘fellow-villager, peasant, boor.’ See also.   ,, ‘tree,’ from the  and  boum, ; corresponds to  bôm,  boom,  beám, , tree,’ whence  beam (beam in sunbeam is quite another word;   is  tree);  boom is and  bôm, ‘tree.’ The corresponding  bagms and  baðmr have the game phonetic form. The cognates, with φῦμα, ‘produce,’ are usually derived from the  root bû, Aryan bhû, ‘to become, arise,’ discussed under.  ,, simply ‘to hover as on a tree’?. See, however,.  ,, ‘to rear,’ only,  ‘to lift oneself up like a tree.’   ,, ‘pad, bolster,’ from bûsch, , ‘cudgel, blow causing blisters, swelling.’ If ‘cudgel’ is the primary sense, the word may be connected with  bôȥen,  bôȥȥan, from bautan (see, , ); bût- would be another stage in gradation, and before the suffix sch from sk the dental would inevitably disappear;  fustis, ‘cudgel,’ from *bhûd-stis. <section end="Bausch" /> ,, ‘to carouse, swell,’ from , bûs, ‘inflation, swelling due
