bukë

See also: buke, büke, bùkě, and bǔkè

Albanian

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Albanian *bukā, continuing *bʰok (“to burn”), further related to (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *bʰōg (“to roast, bake”).^[1] Possibly a derivative of a disused verb. Close to Phrygian βεκος (begos, “bread”), Illyrian *bagaron (“warm”), Armenian բոց (bocʻ, “flame”), Latin focacius (“kind of baked dough”), from focus (“fire”), Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter "sc" should be a valid script code; the value "polytonic" is not valid. See WT:LOS. and Old English bacan (“to bake”). An alternative etymology derives it from Latin bucca (“mouth”), with a semantic development to 'food' through a Balkan source.^[2]
