** English
*** Etymology 1
Compare [de], [de]; an imitative word.
[2] The pronunciation [/bɑː/] is perhaps a development from earlier [/bæː/]
reflecting the shift of [/æː/] to [/ɑː/] during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Compare [en-ear], [en-ear], both "to baa", respectively displaying the then
current pronunciation of Middle English [/aː/] as [/æː/] and the failure of
Middle English [/ɛː/] to raise, and the replacement of [en] with [en] for
another instance where recent sound change has made onomatopoeia opaque.
