Proto-Germanic edit
Etymology edit
Unknown. Likely from a pre-Germanic substrate language,[1] due to phonetic irregularities between the root's relatives in other languages, as well as its restriction to western branches of Indo-European. Possibly related to Middle Welsh beich (“load, cargo”), Latin bāiulus (“porter, carrier”) (whence Spanish baga (“load”)) and fascis (“bundle”), Ancient Greek φάκελος (phákelos, “bundle”).[2]
