Arabic
Etymology
Considered a word of foreign origin, which would appear Himyaritic or Old South Arabian according to the current distribution and the reoccurring of the pattern of بُذَج (buḏaj) in triliteral root formulae, like تُبَّع (tubbaʕ, “king in ancient Yemen”) or لِبَخ (libaḵ) or نِطَع (niṭaʕ), but ultimately it could have its cause in Proto-Iranian *bujáh (“goat”) being suffixed diminutive *-akah in later Middle Iranian, compare Old Armenian բզաք (bzakʻ) and բուծ (buc, “lamb”).
Pronunciation

8th century, أبو طالب المأموني, ورب سوس من الاترج (first line):ورب سوس من الاترج … متقد اللون اتقاد السرج
يعوم من انائه في مزج … مجت عليه النحل أي مج
فقام من رضابها في لج … بظاهر كقطع الخلنج
أو العقار اعتللت بالمزج … غصت به فوهاء مثل البذج- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
