Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *bʰōw-go-s, from a root *bʰew- (“to swell, inflate”); (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) however, the existence of this root is in doubt, and it is likely that most, if not all, of its supposed descendants are independent onomatopoeic and sound-symbolic formations, which Orel appears to implicitly espouse.[1]
