Pronounciation
buck-(BOOK)
Conversion
[BK]
Meaning
jug, jar, cruse, bottle
Roots
Anglo-Saxon buc
is a pitcher or bucket.
בקבוק BahQBOOQ is the
"jug" of IKings14:3. In modern Hebrew
the term means a bottle. Forgetting that this once was a wide-mouthed
container, Israeli linguists use a folk etymology as a favorite example of how
words are echoic – since some emptying bottles make a sound like “buck-buck. “
To the dismay of those who trivialize vocabulary as mere signals that evolved
with usage, there is an elaborate family of bilabial-guttural and
guttural-bilabial hollow recentacles. בקיעה BiQeeY[A]H is a fissure (Isaiah 22:9).
בוקק BOAQeQ is to empty.

BASIN comes from Latin bacca (bowl or water vessel).
Just as a BASIN can mean a valley, BiQ[A}h means valley or gorge. The large
family of bilabial-guttural, B/V + C/G/K, VACUUMS and VACANCIES
includes: BAG, BEAKER, BIGGIN, BOX, BUCCAL, EVACUATE, VACATE, VAGABOND, VAGINA,
VAGRANT and that temporary "valley" at the back of a moving ship - a
WAKE.
BiQeey[A] is a crack, BiQ[A]H is a valley (Joshua 11:17).
The famously troublesome family in Lebanon is named Bikaa. A valley (a natural container or
bucket) is a buca in Fijian, and a fa(n)ga in proto-Polynesian.
BOOKaH is a desolate, emotional emptiness, while BOOGHaH (boil, blister – see
BUBBLE) is a Bilabial-Guttural biological vacuum. For related P-K containers
like POKE, POCKET and POX, see PIT
Reverse to K-V for the large family of CAVities seen at
CAVITY. The Italian hole is thus a buco. (Elaine Feffer)
Also see BEAKER and VACATE. In
Japanese this depressed bilabial-gutural is FK: fukai (deep, profound); fukasa
(depth) .
