Etymology
From *bašla- (“to begin sth.”), from Proto-Turkic *baĺč (“head; beginning”).
Note that postulation of Proto-Turkic *baĺč-la- (“to begin”) is problematic, as no derivatives are attested in Orkhon Turkic, Yakut, Tuva or Tofalar. The Chuvash verb may have formed in contact and by analogy with the Kypchak languages.
