Danish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Old Norse bók (“beech”), from Proto-Germanic *bōkō, cognate with English beech, German Buche. The Danish form has the vowel from the old collective noun bøge (in place names), from Proto-Germanic *bōkiją. The word goes back to Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂ǵos (“beech”), which is also the source of Latin fāgus, Ancient Greek φηγός (phēgós).
