  • Conventional anglicization: bit

Etymology

Heavily disputed. The final -t is usually considered a separate feminine ending in origin rather than a part of the root, but this is not wholly certain. Etymological hypotheses include:

• Cognate with Beja wíyu.
• From an earlier form *brt, in which case there are a number of mutually exclusive possibilities:
  • Cognate with El Molo póruat (“bee”).
  • Cognate with Western Rift *ba?ara (“bee”) and its descendants: Iraqw ba??rm? (“bee”), Burunge b???l?m? (“bee”), Alagwa ba?aramo (“fly, bee”).
  • Cognate with Mofu-Gudur béber (“horsefly”).
  • Cognate with Pévé b?úr (“honey (?)”)
• From an earlier form *blt, cognate with Kulere ?abyál (“honey”), Mazagway b?l??m (“honey”), Musey mbulyuma (“honey”), Lele (Chad) bùlò (“hive”).

Several linguists have also proposed an areal connection with Proto-Indo-European *b?ey- (“bee”), noting the existence of a number of parallels between Afroasiatic and Indo-European bee-keeping terminology.
