Alternative reconstructions
- *bēssos[1]
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *bʰendʰ- (“to bind, bond”).
According to one theory, the Proto-Celtic word might derive from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeydʰ- instead, thus rendering the Albanian besë as a cognate and explains the relationship between them as an Albanian/Celtic isogloss.[2]
