bídalo
Galician
bídalos, Abadín, Galicia
Alternative forms
- bídaro, bídolo, bidro
Etymology
Probably from bídaro, from a pre-Roman substrate of Iberia, ultimately from Proto-Celtic *betu- (“birch”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷet- (“resin, pitch”).[1][2] The tonic i can be due to the influence of Germanic forms (cf. English birch) during the early Middle Ages.[3]
Cognate with French bouleau. Compare also the Galician Celtism berro < *berŭro-, French berle < *berŭla. Synonymous with bido, bedulo, and bidueiro.
Pronunciation
