Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Unknown. Likely from a pre-Germanic substrate language,[1] due to phonetic irregularities between the root's relatives in other languages, as well as its restriction to western branches of Indo-European. Said relatives include Middle Welsh beich (load, cargo), Latin bāiulus (porter, carrier) (whence Spanish baga (load)),[2] and perhaps fascis (bundle), Ancient Greek φάκελος (phákelos, bundle).
