Where this word comes from
From Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH-. Kortlandt (1986:91) suggests that the short vowel in fu- (rather than long fū-) is more easily explained as descending not from *bʰuH- but from bʰHu- with regular laryngeal metathesis from bhuH-, per Werner Winter (1965:192). Cognate with English be, Ancient Greek φύω (phúō), Sanskrit भवति (bhávati), Persian بودن (budan), Irish bí, among others. Also see be.
