"بـ" meaning in All languages combined

See بـ on Wiktionary

Prefix [Persian]

IPA: /bi-/ [Classical-Persian], /bij-/ [Classical-Persian], /bɪ-/, /bʊ-/ (note: before a syllable with the vowel /ʊ/), /bij-/ [before-vowel], /be-/ [usually], /bo-/ (note: before a syllable with vowel /o/), /bi-/ [Tajik], /bij/ [Tajik], /bu/ [Tajik] Audio: Fa-ب.ogg Forms: be- [romanization]
Etymology: From Middle Persian [script needed] (bʾ /⁠bē⁠/, “out, away, forth”, also preverbal particle of unclear additional meanings), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰe. In Classical Persian the prefix did not indicate the subjunctive, but had diverse and generally vague meanings depending on the context. The development into a subjunctive marker went hand in hand with the displacement of the simple present by the durative present in می (mi-). Thereby be- became more and more associated with the subjunctive position and was ultimately grammaticalised in this function. The use of simple present for the subjunctive is now literary, while its use for the indicative is archaic/poetic.
