[Com. Teut.: OE. Anglian bę́ᵹan, WSax. bíęᵹan, bíᵹan, býᵹan wk. vb. = OFris. bêja, ON. beygja (Sw. böja, Da. böie), OHG. bougen (MHG. böugen, mod.G. beugen), MDu. bôghen, Goth. baugjan, causal of biugan, baug, in OE. búᵹan, béah to bow (intr.). In the 13th c. there was confusion between this verb, and the primary buȝen to bow, partly because both verbs began to be used both transitively and intransitively, partly because of the ambiguity of the letter u (= ū or ü), so that buȝen might be for OE. búᵹan, or OE. býᵹan. At length the strong verb took also a weak past buȝede, buhde: see bow. Bey, bay, is not found in literature after the 14th c., but seems to have survived in dialects.]
