the word is onomatopoeic, in imitation of the shortness that occurs in its sound, from which also *brochos* (throat) is said, through which the voice is brought up, and the very word *branchian* (to be hoarse) and to use a rotten and rough voice. Baskanon. They call the harmful and grievous one. Basileus. A sovereign ruler. From *bainein ileos* (to go graciously).

And it is a paronym in its accent, as from *kyrtos* (curved) comes *kyrtos* (a wicker-basket), *xanthos* (yellow) *xanthos* (a bird), *leukos* (white) *leukos* (a fish), so *batos* (passable) *batos* (bramble-bush). Baitarrhenoi. From Baitarrhous, a village of Palestine. Baitylos. A stone found near Lebanon, the mountain of Heliopolis. Bater. The starting-point of the pentathlon pits.

And as from *psephos* (pebble) comes *psephis*, so also from *belos* comes *belis*, and by a change of ē to a and the addition of a b, *balbis*. Baxis. The word, the report.
