Few of us still live in BOOTHS,
unless you mean EMeTologically.
BOOTH BahYiTH Bet-Yod-Tahf (as Thaf)
Ba-YITH
בית ______ [B-TH]
ROOTS: The Indo-European (IE) “root” for BOOTH, bheu (to be, exist, grow), accommodates too many tenants.
B
oth means a dwelling in Old Danish, and this Western precedent for BOOTH is bigger than a closet for a telephone. Pronouncable as בית BaYiT, BaYi(S) or BaYiTH, the Edenic term means “house” (Genesis 33:17), but in Exodus 1: 21 it means “family” (as in the House of Tudor), and there is a verb form meaning to 'spent the night' in
Daniel 6:
19. The Syriac house is
ܒܝܬܐ aytā’. Akkadian
bitu or Ugaritic
bt seems restricted to “house,” but Hebrew later uses BYT for school or synagogue.
בית
BaYiT means 'inside' in Genesis 6:14, and “within” in Exodus 25:11.
For a reverse, sound-alike term of interiority, see ת-בTahf-Bhet at
TUB.
BRANCHES: Nature’s perfect בית BaYiT housing or protective enclosure, is the egg, ביצה BaYTSaH (see
FETUS).
The opposite of the open PATIO is the closed house, בית BaYiT -- see
PATIO for the bilabial-dental family of open opposites of בית BaYiTH.
בית BayiT can be read (V)aYi(S). Sanskrit vis, a house, is the source of VAISYA (settler).
Byt is a Czech apartment (or see
BAT if a single
unit is meant. This is close to
wetu, house in Narragansett (Algonquin/Amerind) [Givon Zirkind]
From FM and MacBain's Etymological Dictionary: Irish both, bothan, bothie mean a hut.
Welsh bod, residence; Cornish bod, bos, and *buto- and Norse búð, are all related to English BOOTH. In the name Buchanan, the bu element means “residence.”
RW adds bilabial-dental words for a building: budova, Czech and Slovakian ; batiment, French; Gebäude, German; budynek , Polish; budovat , Slovakian. Then, for the verb “to build”: batir, French and budovatsh in Polish. Benjamin Davies (1886) adds Gaelic both and Welsh bwth.
In Rabbi Daniel Lapin’s
Buried Treasure, the Hebrew daughter בת BahT is not the feminine of a son (BeN), because a son builds (Bet-Noon , see
BONE) ones own family, while a בת BahT (daughter) builds a new בית BaYiT (house, family).
For a moving BOOTH, see
CABOOSE. For בית BaYiT as interiority, see
EMBED.
בית BaYiT, BaYiS or BaYiTH also means receptacle (Exodus 37:14) and interior (Exodus 28:26). It may be considered as the original home of words like VAT, currently stored within an IE “root” called ped -2 (container).
See 'ABODE' and 'BASE.'
Many more world “house” words are from Edenic “dwelling” words, or from K-S “housing” words from חסוי [K]Hee$ooY (covering). Like
casa. See

Be they ever so humble, the homes where our global team of Edenicists live are the places from where the house of cards of meaningless, Eurocentric etymology will come tumbling down.
