Buc  ',, ', ‘box, box-tree,’ from the  and  buhsboum; formed from  buxus,  πύξος;   bosso,  buis,  box.   ,, ‘box, pot, jar, rifle,’ from bühse, ‘box, magic-box, firelock’;  buhsa, from *buhsja, from  πυξίς, ‘a box of boxwood (πύξος), medicine-box.’ The  medical art was in vogue in the Middle Ages among all civilised nations, consequently some  medical terms found their way into German. See,. and box,  bossolo,  bossette, ‘box.’   ,, ‘bay,’ first occurs in , from bucht;   bogt,  bought (from  boght), ‘a twist, bend,’ and  bight (from  byht); properly a verbal abstract from.    (1.),, ‘boss, stud,’ from buckel, , , ‘boss of a shield’; from  bocle (whence  boucle, ‘buckle’), which is based on  buccula, ‘beaver of a helmet, boss.’

' (2.), ',, ‘back, hump,’ from buckel. The Swiss bukel (not *buχel) points to a primary form bugg- (see, , ), not directly to , from (root bug). is ‘a curve, bend.’   ,, ‘to stoop, bow,’ from bücken, ‘to bend, bow’; frequentative of , like  of. The Swiss bukχe points to bucchen (Swiss bukχ, ‘bend’);   bucken, ‘to stoop.’ See.   ,, ‘bloater’ (also , based on , ‘bow,’ from ), from the  and  bückinc;   bokking, which is probably a  of ,  bok, ‘hircus’; in fact, the fish is also called boxhorn (bockshorn) in.   ,, ‘booth, stall, shop,’ from buode, , ‘hut, tent’; corresponds to  bôþe, ‘taberna,’  booth;  búð, , ‘dwelling, hut, tent,’ has a different vowel, and is based on the widely diffused root bû-bhû, ‘to dwell, stay.’ By a different derivation  to bui-ld,  bold, botl, ‘dwelling,’  bold,  ból,  bodal, are produced from the same root. So too both (bothán), ‘hut,’ from *bu-to, as well as the words discussed under, - buda, ‘booth,’ and  and Silesian , ‘shepherd's hut,’ are borrowed.   ,, ‘buffalo, boor, buff (leather),’ from büffel,  ox; borrowed from  bufle,  bubalus,  βούβαλος; hence also  buff. <section end="Büffel" /> <section begin="Bug" /> ,, ‘bend, flexure, hock, bow (of a ship),’ from buoc(g),  buog, , ‘upper joint of the arm, shoulder, upper joint of the leg, hin, hock’;   boeg, ‘ship’s bow,’  bôg, bôh, ‘armus, ramus,’  bough (‘the joint of a tree,’ as it were). The word may have been *bôgus (from pre- bhâghú-s);   bâhus (for bhâghú-s), ‘arm, fore-arm, fore-feet,’ also  πᾶχυς, πῆχυς (for φᾶχυς), ‘elbow, fore-arm, bend of the arm,’  bazuk, ‘arm.’ On account of the Aryan base bhâghú-s the derivation of   from  (root bug, pre- bhuk), is impossible. The ancient terms for parts of the body, such as, , , , , &c., are based upon obscure roots, of which we find no further trace anywhere; they belong, in fact, to the most primitive vocabulary of Aryan speech. — <section end="Bug" /> <section begin="Bugspriet" /> ,, from the  boegspriet;  the   bôusprét,  bowsprit ( beaupré). <section end="Bugspriet" /> <section begin="Bügel" /> ,, ‘curve, arc, guard (of a gun),’ only, derived from  ( baug, ‘ring,’ corresponding to  from  haug);   beugel, ‘hoop, stirrup.’ <section end="Bügel" /> <section begin="Bühel" /> ', ',, from the  bühel,  buil, buhil, , ‘hill’; it is probably rightly referred to the Aryan root bhū̆k, bhū̆g, ‘to bend.’ See  and. <section end="Bühel" /> <section begin="Buhle" /> ,, ‘lover, paramour,’ from buole, , ‘near relative, lover, sweetheart’; likewise  buole, , ‘lady-love’ ( Buolo, , as a masculine name only); the implied correspondences in the cognate  dialects are not recorded. It is scarcely disputable, however, that a  word lies at the base of. Since in Up  dialects signifies ‘lover’ also, it is perhaps connected with, which may a term of endearment formed from it. <section end="Buhle" /> <section begin="Bühne" /> ,, ‘stage, gallery, orchestra,’ from büne, bün, , ‘ceiling of a room (a meaning still preserved in Swiss), board, lath’; the latter is at all events the primary meaning. Perhaps binn, ‘crib, box,’  bin, are allied by gradation to  büne. The origin of the words has not yet been explained. <section end="Bühne" />
