[edit]Etymology
[edit]According to Beekes, in view of the alternations and the suffix -ιτον, the word is probably Pre-Greek. Compare also βόλιτον (bóliton, “cow dung”). Close to Proto-Albanian *balgā (“dung”) (Albanian bajgë), which may be from the same substratum, but would point to Proto-Indo-European *bolgʷ- if inherited.
