Proto-Germanic edit
Etymology edit
Uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *bud- (“to shoot, sprout”); if so, then possibly cognate with Sanskrit बुन्द (bundá, “arrow”), Lithuanian budė, budis (“mushroom, fungus”). However, there are two problems with this theory:
- The phoneme *b is either rare or non-existent in Proto-Indo-European.
- A Proto-Indo-European root normally does not contain two voiced stops.
