Etymology
Related words appear in all Balkan languages. Probably from, possibly through a language intermediary (Serbian, Bulgarian ), compare also 🇨🇬, and Turkish borrowing. Relation to Persian unclear. Another somewhat less likely theory suggests the other Balkan language cognates may have originally come from an old Romanian word and that it may be derived from Latin, from. For the uncommon sound shift from g > b, see, , , etc.
