etymology of βαβά edit

Anon added an etymology from Proto-Slavic, is this correct? Nadando 21:19, 5 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

According to my sources it's indeed from Slavic. Not sure from which Slavic language though. Luckily, code {{etyl:sla}} covers them all. --Vahagn Petrosyan 10:38, 6 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Many of the dialects that could be the source vanished because of rehellenization. One way or another, the stress isn't Slavic. It seems to be the result of contamination by other nursery words, e.g. γιαγιά. 37.47.228.247 18:19, 10 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
