This Proto-Slavic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Etymology

Per Trubachyev, the most likely etymology is from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₃g-. Cognate with Ancient Greek φώγω (phṓgō, to roast) and Proto-Germanic *bakaną (to bake).

A relation with Sanskrit भजति (bhajati, to distribute) and Slavic forms like *bogatъ (rich), *bogъ (God) (all from *bʰeh₂g-) is less likely.

Verb

*bagati impf

  1. to ignite fire (obsolete)
  2. to desire
