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). 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”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈbaː.ka] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈbaː.ka] === Noun === bāca f (genitive bācae); first declension various small fruit of trees and shrubs: a berry, stone fruit (including olives, cherries) an olive fruit in particular, an olive-berry Synonyms: olīva, olea a pearl Synonyms: margarīta, margarītum a coral bead or piece ==== Declension ==== First-declension noun. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === References === === Further reading === “baca”, in Charlton T.
