Talk:bő

Does anyone know if bőve is equivalent to bővebb? --Bwwm (talk) 23:45, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Bő is not from Ottoman Turkish

Bő and bég (bey) are doublets, but bő is definitely not from Ottoman Turkish, bég is from Ottoman bey. Bő cannot be considered a recent (1500s) loan from bey. It is from a much older Turkic layer of loan words in Hungarian, possibly from the pre-conquest centuries, prior to the late 9th century CE. Also consider the relatively distant meaning of bő (plentiful; loose-fitting) and its contrasting pair ín (bőség-ínség). Here's valid source that supports the argument above.
