Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Like κυνέω, βυνέω could continue a nasal present *βυ-νέ-σ-ω, with βῡν- from zero grade βυν-σ-? (3. Pl. *βύνσοντι, from there διαβύνεται Hdt. 2, 96?, s. Schwyzer 692); the verb would then be of high antiquity. Possible also *βυσ-νέω with seondary -έω. - One compares Alb. m-bush `fill', further Celtic and Germanic words for `pouch', e.g. MIr. búas (\< *bousto-), ON posi, OE posa, OHG pfoso, PGm. *pŭsan- (\< *bŭson-); further e.g. OSw. pusin `swollen'; but Alb. m-bush and MIr. búas may also have PIE *bh-. One then refers to b(h)u, p(h)u in Pok. 98ff., but this material needs screening; also such forms may be re-created at any time. Cf. βυβός, βουβών, βύτανα.
