bodhaig
Scottish Gaelic
editEtymology
editFrom Scots bouk (“body, trunk”). Compare Old Norse búkr (“trunk (of the body), torso”), German Bauch (“belly, abdomen”), all from Proto-Germanic *būkaz (“belly, body”). The Gaelic word has been compared by Fick with English body, from Old English bodig, and Murray says it is thence derived, but the <d> would scarcely disappear and leave the soft <g> ending now so hard.
