Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Per Trubachyev, the most likely etymology is from Proto-Balto-Slavic *bōˀgā́ˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰéh₃g-eh₂-ti, from *bʰeh₃g- (“to bake”). Cognate with Ancient Greek φώγω (phṓgō, “to roast”) and Proto-Germanic *bakaną (“to bake”).

A relation with Sanskrit भजति (bhájati, “to distribute”) and Slavic forms like *bogatъ (“rich”), *bogъ (“God”) (all from *bʰeh₂g-) is less likely.

Verb

*bagati impf

  1. to ignite fire (obsolete)
