Buh  ,, ‘bed-tick,’ only, from  büre; probably cognate with  bure, ‘coarse stuff.’    (Swiss, also ),, ‘leather water-pail,’ from bulge,  bulga, ‘leather bag’;  and  bilğe, bulğe, from *bylčğe. The cognates are allied to ( balgs, ‘leather bottle, bag’),  bulga.    (1.),, ‘bull’ only, from the   bulle;   bul, bol,  bull (in  only the  bulluca, ‘bullock,’ appears); akin to  bole, ‘bull’;  bullus is not a cognate; root bel in ?.    (2.),, ‘bottle,’ first occurs at a late period in , corrupted from buttel, bouteille.   ' (3.),, ‘bull, papal edict,’ from bulle, f, ‘seal, document, bull’  bulle,  bull,  bulle). From  bulla,  ‘‘water bubble,’ then ‘boss, knob (on a door),’ finally ‘a ball attached as a seal to documents’; whence also .  ', , ‘to bounce,’  only; a recent onomatopoetic word. ', , ‘to dangle,’ simply  from  bummeln; an onomatopoetic word of recent origin.  ', , from the   bunt (d), ‘bond, fetter, confederacy’; related to .   ', , ‘bundle, parcel,’  only, though existing in  (byndel,  bundle); related to . See the previous word.   ', , ‘binding, valid, terse,’ not from  bündec, ‘firmly bound,’ but formed from  bondig, ‘binding, firm’; the latter word is akin to . <section end="bündig" /> ,, ‘gay, mottled, variegated,’ a and  word (for which , , &c., are used in ), from the   bunt (inflected bunter); nt shows that the word cannot have been handed down from , for nt in  would have become nd in. Akin to bunt,  bont, also with -nt-. was borrowed in the period; the  signification, ‘with black spots on a white ground’ (  is  missenar), supports the view that it was borrowed from  punctus, ‘dotted, spotted’ (for the loss of the medial c   punto, ‘point,’ as well as ). In spite of this explanation the absence of the word in is remarkable. On account of the earlier reference to fur-skin ( and  bunt,, also signifies ‘fur-skin’),  mus ponticus, ‘ermine,’ has been suggested, the meaning of which would suit excellently were there no objection to the form of the expression. <section begin="Bunzen" /> ', ',, ‘punch, stamp,’ from punze, ‘burin, chisel’; the latter word is borrowed from  ( punzone,  poinçon,  punctionem), whence also  punch, puncheon, puncher. <section end="Bunzen" /> <section begin="Bürde" /> ,, ‘burden, load,’ from the  bürde,  burdi, ; it corresponds to  baurþei, ‘burden, load’;  byrþen, ,  burthen, burden, have an n suffix; allied to  beran, ‘to carry.’ See. <section end="Bürde" /> <section begin="Burg" /> ,, ‘stronghold, citadel, castle, fortified town,’ from burc(g),  burg, burug, , ‘enclosed, fortified place, stronghold, castle, town.’   burg,  burg,  burh ( byrg),  borough, bury, burrow (especially in compounds),  baúrgs. In the dialects  corresponded to the modern town. Ulfilas translated πόλις by baurgs. According to the Germania of Tacitus, the Teutons had no urbes, but their oppida were mentioned as early as Cæsar (De Bell. Gall. ). With πύργος, ‘tower,’ the   accords neither in form nor meaning. The word appears strangely enough in  as burgu, and in  as burǵ, which probably owed their immediate origin to late  burgus (whence the  words  borgo,  bourg, ‘market town’; so too  borg, ‘town’). In this sense the word is solely, and belongs with to an Aryan bhṛgh-, which also appears in  bri ( brig), ‘mountain, hill,’ but scarcely to the verbal stem of. The words for ‘town’ were not formed until the separate Aryan tribes ceased their wanderings and became permanent settlers; also. <section end="Burg" /> <section begin="Bürge" /> ,, ‘surety, bail,’ from the  bürge,  burigo,. We may assume a Goth *baúrgia, which would, however, be distinct from baúrgja, ‘citizen.’ á-byrgjast, ‘to become bail.’ Allied to ; the root is pre- bhergh, with the  sense ‘to take care of, heed.’ <section end="Bürge" /> <section begin="Bursche" /> ,, ‘fellow, apprentice, student,’ properly identical with , from  burse, , ‘purse, money-bag, society, house belonging to a <section end="Bursche" />
