Vladimir Orel's etymological analysis of the Albanian word "bukë" (bread) is incorrect. He claims it derives from Latin "bucca" (mouth), but this logic is flawed. Using his etymological logic the Albanian language word "burrë" (man, husdband) comes from "burro" (donkey) of Spanish.A more accurate explanation lies in the Old Albanian verb "bhogo," which is the root of the verb "bake" and the noun "bread."
The connections between languages reveal a deeper relationship:
- Phrygian: Bekos or begos (bread)
- Illyrian: Bagaron (warm), unclear meaning.
- Armenian: Bocʿ (flame)
- Latin: Focacius (kind of baked dough) from focus (fire)
- Ancient Greek: Phṓgō (verb meaning roast)
- Old English: Bacan (to bake)
The origin of the Albanianlanguage verb "pjek"(roast) comes from Bho-Gho:
- Bho (verb "do"), primordial form
- Gho (harden, join), primordial form.
Further connections to Albanian include:
- The verb "bashko" (join) with the same root root "bhogo" and "bhog" (o>a and g<>sk)
- "brumë" (Dough) with the possibility with root "bhër+uj+gh-m" where "ghe" is last, unhardened mixture of wheat flour and water.
Another verb related to bread is "thek" with the root "thieg>djeg' (burn).
-The Sanskrit word “paca” and “Pacati” meaning “to cook” and “to bake".
