Bake and bakery: IE BELGON basis


The English verb BAKE has its pair in Serbian word PEĆI (bake). Are
these words cognates or not? If they are, how did their common "root"
sound?
Let us see what the etymology books are saying about the "root" BHELGH-
((Pokorny bhelh- 125.) wich is the closest one to the ur-basis BEL-GON:

DEFINITION: To swell. Extension of bhel-2. Oldest form *bhelh-,
becoming *bhelgh- in centum languages. 1. O-grade form *bholgh-.
bellows, belly, from Old English bel(i)g, bælig, bag, bellows, from
Germanic *balgiz. 2. Zero-grade form *bhgh-. billow, from Old Norse
bylgja, a wave, from Germanic *bulgjan. 3. Zero-grade form *bhgh-.
bolster, from Old English bolster, cushion, from Germanic *bulgstraz.
4. O-grade form *bholgh-. blagging, budget, bulge, from Latin bulga,
leather sack, from Celtic *bolg-.

Obviously, Gr. φώγω (roast, fry), Old English *bæcce, OHG.
bahhan, O.Ice. baka,, MHG. sich becheln ` Bask, get warm, lounge in the
sun '; OHG. backan, NHG. backen and Serb. peći (bake), according to
the modern linguistic findings, do not belong to the "root' BHELGH-.

We shall try to prove that the BAKE also originated from the "root"
BHELGH- or from the ancient ur-basis BELGON. If we observe carefully
above explanation, we shall see that English BLISTER was not included
in words that stemmed from the BHELGH- root. Pokorny put the word
’blister’ under the root bhleu-. The Latin word FOLLICULUM,
FOLLICULI (sack or bag) is derived from BULGE (bag). In Serbian
blister is PLIK (Gr. φούσκα, φλυκταίνα) and this word
sprung from the previous form which sounded similar to BLUKTANJE. In
fact, in order to understand what has really happened here, we must go
back to the primeval basis BEL-GON, which had been branched into four
main directions:
Fire (Serb. PLANUTI, BUKNUTI /blaze up/, PLAMEN flame, PALJENJE),
Water (Serb. OBLAK cloud, OBLINUTI splash, suffuses, PLINUTI, PLIMA
tide),
Light (Serb. BELO white, BELJENJE bleaching, BOJENJE painting,
BLJESNUTI flash),
Explosion (Serb. PUKNUTI burst, puncture, rift, PUCANJE shooting).
Form (Serb. OBLIK)
In the case of the word ‘blister’ (Serb. PLIK) the logic is clear:
BLISTER is an elevation (BULGE, Serb. BUDŽA) of the skin that was
irritated by fire (BLAZE, Serb. BUKNUTI; from BULKNUTI). After the
BLAZING of the skin, the man feels burning (BAKING, Serb. BUKTANJE,
PALJENJE) effect in the place where the burning occurred. So, after the
BLAZING comes BULGING and, finally, the burned part of the skin will
look like a BUG (Lat. BULGE).

BEL-GON => Serb. BU(l)KNUTI, PLANUTI, PEĆI (PLANUTI => PLAMEN, Eng.
FLAME)
BEL-GON => Eng. BLAZING, BAKE
Serb. PLIK <=> Eng. BLISTER
BULGE => BAG
Serb. BU(l)DŽAK (store, pantry, corner) => BUDŽAK => DŽAK (bag,
sack); BUDŽENJE (inflating)
Serb. BISAGE (bag, sack) were derived from BEŠENJE/ VEŠANJE/ VISAK
(gibbet, hanging, bob; also BEL-GON basis)
Cf. billowing, blowing <=> pillow, bolster <=> blister!
