Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic (Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary Series 11)GuusKroonenBrill2013
nounneutera-stembathFrom Proto-Indo-European *bʰh́₁-to-m, a zero-grade nominal formation from *bʰeh₁- (‘to foment, warm. bathe’). Though Kroonen 2013 considers the word to have no cognates outside Proto-Germanic, Acharian has deduced Old Armenian բով (bov, ‘furnace, glowing, smoldering, fiery’) as a cognate, though he notes an alternative origin in PIE *bʰuH- (‘to be, become, grow, appear’) giving it an original sense of ‘fire pit’.
