verbWeak class 1to settle, to inhabitto buildFrom *būaną (‘to dwell, reside’) + *-(i)janą (forms denominative and factitive Weak class 1 verbs). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European ye-present *bʰuH-yé/ó- root *bʰuH- (‘to be, become, grow, appear’). The North Proto-Germanic reflexes must have come from a variant with geminate -ww- since they are obviously the result of Holtmann’s Law. Related to *būwāną (‘to settle, inhabit; build’).
