Proto-SlavicEdit
EtymologyEdit
Continues Proto-Balto-Slavic *beź, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰe (“instrumental particle”) + Proto-Indo-European *-ǵʰs (“out”). Cognate with Lithuanian bè, Latvian bez, Old Prussian bhe, and likely Sanskrit बहिस् (bahís, “outside”). The first element is probably the same as that in Proto-Slavic *bo (“for”), Lithuanian bà (“really”), Ancient Greek φή (phḗ, “like, as”)[1], Avestan 𐬠𐬁 (bā, “indeed”).
