Possibly a seafarers’ word from Old Norse bjúgr, Icelandic bjúgur, Swedish bjugg (literally “corn”), their plurals ending in -n, whence also the second half of the European words for scurvy – see also هَيْدُورة (haydūra, “sheep-skin”) appearing of similar origin even in desert-dwellers’ dialects, and note the foreign form but with fitting vocalism in Andalusi بُجُّول (bujjūl), بُجُّون (bujjūn, “stalk of a fig and similar fruits”), then possibly instead figuratively petioles or nipples as in Spanish pezón from Latin peciolus.

Tigre በጊላ (bägila, “festering wound on feet and legs that refuses to heal”), በጀን (bäǧän), በገን (bägän, “gonorrhoea”), Amharic በገን (bägän, “redness of the skin of the legs when one has exposed them to the sun during the wet season”), ብጒንጅ (bəgʷinǧ, “sore, furuncle”) can be Arabisms, with their usual variation of ጅ (ǧə) and ግ (gə) borrowed from ج (j).
