b'g
Middle Persian
Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Indo-Iranian *bʰāgá- (“portion, share, allotment”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂g- (“to divide, distribute, allot”); see there for more. The sense development is ‘portion, share, allotment’ → ‘landed allotment’ → ‘garden’. The same semantic development occurred in the Armenian cognate բակ (bak).
