Proto-Celtic edit

Etymology edit

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰewgʰ- (“to bend”). If so, cognate with Proto-Germanic *beuganą (“to bend”), Sanskrit भुजति (bhujati, “to bend”). Matasović considers this dubious due to the unexpected gemination.

Adjective edit

*buggos[1][2]

  1. soft, tender
