Related to *bilōn- (“to give way”); compare also *biliþī (“likeness, evenness”) and *bibāną (“to shiver, tremble”), the latter which Kroonen suspects is connected. A relation to Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyd- (“to split”) is particularly attractive semantically, though phonetically difficult to resolve.
