Etymology edit
Root |
---|
ب ق ق (b-q-q) |
From Proto-Semitic *baḳḳ- (“gnat”), ultimately stemming from Proto-Afroasiatic *ba(n)ḳ- (“troublesome insect”), with cognates in West Chadic, Fyer ḅakyáà-ŋ (“scorpion”), and to Cushitic, Hadiyya benḳ-aččo (“tick”). Uncertain if cognate to or continuing Aramaic בָּקָּא / ܒܳܩܳܐ (bāqā, baqqā, “gnat”), already found in lexical list ḪAR-ra=ḫubullu as Akkadian 𒁀𒀝𒄣 (ba-aq-qu /baqqu, bāqu/, “gnat”), also in diminutive forms 𒁍𒂵𒆪𒌝 (bu-qa-qu-um /buqāqu/), and 𒁀𒀝𒁀𒀝𒄣 (ba-aq-ba-aq-qu /baqbaqqu/); possibly inherited separately if Harsusi beqqét and beqáyt (“bug”) are not borrowed from Arabic, but attest a Modern South Arabian form.

Egyptian Arabic edit
Etymology edit
Uncertain. Behnstedt & Woidich derive it from Arabic بَقْبَقَ (baqbaqa, “gurgle”), but others connect it to Latin bucca (“mouth”).
