baca

1. inflection of bacare:
   1. third-person singular present indicative
   2. second-person singular imperative

• bacca

Unknown. Possibly:

• If from Proto-Indo-European, it may be connected to Lithuanian bapkas (“berry, laurel”), which renders a sound-symbolic root *bab- (“to be round; small fruit”), evolving into *bab-ca and finally bā̆(c)ca (with compensatory lengthening or gemination).^[1] This etymology suffers from phonological problems as well as the paucity of cognates, but for the alternation compare the pairs cippus : cīpus and littera : lītera.
• Somehow related to Ancient Greek Βάκχος (Bákkhos, “Bacchus; twig used as a symbol of Bacchus?”), which cannot be inherited and may be Pre-Greek or Anatolian in origin.
• More likely, from a local substrate source perhaps shared with Proto-Berber *bqā (“blackberry, mulberry, shrub berry”).^[2]

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈbaː.ka/, [ˈbäːkä]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈba.ka/, [ˈbäːkä]
