    Uncertain, maybe related to some meanings within the Arabic root ب ض ض (b ḍ ḍ), بَضُوض (baḍūḍ), بَضِيضَة (baḍīḍa), بُضَاضَة (buḍāḍa) referring to small quantities of rain or water, and Akkadian 𒁀𒀀𒍮 (bāṣum, “sand”). Note the variant Arabic بُوط (būṭ) of بُرْدِيّ (burdiyy, “cat-tail; paper-reed”).
