Noun [Albanian]

IPA: [baːt͡sə] Forms: baca [plural], baca [definite], bacat [definite, plural], baç [alternative], bac [alternative]
Etymology: * Svane suggests a borrowing from Serbo-Croatian baca, a children's pronunciation of braca (“older brother”). * Meyer and Çabej link it to baç (“head shepherd”) (compare baci). * Another possible source is Turkish bacı (“sister”). * Orel considers it an inherited word from Proto-Albanian *batja, related to Proto-Slavic *baťa (see Serbo-Croatian baća (“father, brother, ancestor”) and Proto-Slavic *batę (“older brother, daddy”); he argues that the Albanian word was borrowed into Romanian and Megleno-Romanian baci, whence it was borrowed into Serbo-Croatian and Hungarian.
