*bewd-to swellbuttisbarrel*bъdьňatub, cask
nounmasculinea-stempot, jar, tubOf uncertain origin. Orel considers the word as cognate to or possibly borrowed from Latin buttis (‘barrel’). An older theory by Petersson derives the word from Pre-Germanic *butnós or *budnós (‘a kind of vessel, swelled-out shape’), from Proto-Indo-European *bewd- (‘to swell’), possibly cognate to Proto-Slavic *bъdьňa (‘tub, cask’) (if not a borrowing from Germanic); compare also Old Armenian պոյտն (poytn, ‘pot, earthen pot’).
