PIE etimology
[edit]Etimology says comes from PIE to greek/hellenic Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to swell, bend, curve”). Something's wrong here. Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- only mentions expected bh->φ derivations, not bh->β. The meaning of the word is different too. Itaj Sherman (talk) 21:21, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- The "swell" and "grow" meanings are similar enough. But Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/bōsmaz, which the entry says is cognate, gives a different form for the root.
- No comment on the phonological changes in Greek. 98.170.164.88 21:29, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
