Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ If derived independently from the root sense “to force” (the identification of which with this root is somewhat disputed), though not supported by Baltic cognates. Alternatively from *bʰedʰ(h₂)- (to (op)press; to suffer), along with Latvian bads, Lithuanian bãdas (lack, hunger) and Latvian bēda, Lithuanian bėdà (misfortune, guilt).
  2. ^ Indirect evidence only: Latin foedus (pledge, contract) (< *bʰéydʰ-es-) may have been contaminated with an o-grade noun such as thematic *bʰoydʰ-o/eh₂-; cf. de Vaan (2008), who assumes specifically an o-stem.
