Bos  ,, from the  bœse,  bôsi, ‘bad, useless, slanderous.’ A word peculiar to , not found in the other dialects; the primary meaning, judging from  bôsa, ‘buffoonery,’ bôsân, ‘to vilify,’ was probably ‘speaking malevolently.’ If -si- were regarded us a suffix,  φαῦλος (perhaps for φαῦσ-λος), with the evolution of meaning ‘trifling, bad, wicked,’ would be connected with.   ,, ‘villain, scamp,’ from bœsewiht,  bôsiwiht. See.   , ‘malice,’ from and  bôsheit, without mutation, because i, the cause of the mutation, was soon syncopated. is not cognate.

Bote ( *buda) is the name of the agent, from the root bud, Aryan bhudh, appearing in.   ,, ‘cooper,’ name of the agent, from the following word.   , m, ‘tub, vat,’ from the  botech, boteche, m,  botahha, ; it is probably related to the cognates of ;  further  bodig,  body,  budeming, perhaps also  ?.

See (2.).  ,, only, from the   to box. , ( in compounds such as, &c.), ‘uncultivated, fallow,’ merely. In there is only the compound brâchkmânôt, ‘June,’ which contains a  brâche,,  brâhha ( brâke), ‘aratio prima,’ as its first component;  is ‘turning up the soil after harvest’; from.  ,, ‘refuse, trash,’ from brak, ‘infirmity, defect, properly  'breach’;   brack (‘breach, flaw’), See. <section end="Brack" /> <section begin="Bracke" /> ,, ‘setter, beagle,’ from the  and  bracke,  braccho; scarcely akin to  rœcc,  rach (‘setter’), and  rakke; in this case the initial b of the  word would be equal to bi (see , ), which is improbable. brach (‘setter, beagle’), from brache, is derived from  brache, which, with its  cognates (  bracco,  braque, brachet), is of  origin. If we must assume *brakka-, the word, on account of the meaning ‘hound,’ might be connected with  fragrare, ‘to smell strongly.’ <section end="Bracke" /> <section begin="Brackwasser" /> ,, ‘brackish water,’ first occurs in , from brakwater,   brakwater; to this  brack (‘salt’),  brack, ‘salty,’ are allied;  brackish water. <section end="Brackwasser" /> <section begin="Brägen" /> ,, ‘brain’ , from bregen,  to  brein,  brain,  brœgen; no other related words are known. <section end="Brägen" /> <section begin="Bram" /> , see,. <section end="Bram" /> <section begin="Bramsegel" /> ,, ‘gallant-sail’; Bramstange, , ‘gallant-mast,’ only; of  origin;   bramzeil, with the same meaning. <section end="Bramsegel" /> <section begin="Brand" /> ,, ‘fire, conflagration, mortification, blight,’ from the  brant(d),  brant, ;   brand,  brand,  brandr, ‘brand, resinous wood’; from.
