"bōkō" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See bōkō in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈbɔː.kɔː/
Etymology: Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂ǵos Proto-Germanic *bōkō From Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂ǵos (“beech”). The Indo-European root is also the source of Ancient Greek φηγός (phēgós, “oak”) and Latin fāgus (“beech”). The origin of the senses in Gothic (“book, writing”) are unclear—see more at *bōks—but they may be transferred from that word by conflation.
