Uncertain. Often linked to *bōkō(“beech”),[1] though beechbark-writing, unlike birchbark-writing, is not known, nor is it well imaginable that it was the time for bookfells made from beeches already. Connected by some to Proto-Indo-European*bʰeh₂g-(“to allot”), ascribing to the word the meaning of “letter”, in the sense of merely one or few symbols; (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) in older times, letters would have served as (allotted) ownership symbols, which would then have been generalized to any work with writing upon it.
