בילן
'to bark'

ETYMOLOGY

{Why בילן and not בעלן? The FNHDW notes that billen sometimes appears as the infinitive and plural form, but regards it as analogical to the 2nd and 3rd person singulars: du billst, er billt. But the Eastern Yiddish form shows that billen was probably a legitimate variant.}
II, Icelandic bjalla 'to chatter; to croak', belja 'to low (of cows)', OE bellan 'to bellow, roar, bark', English to bell, to bellow, OHG bellan 'to bark, resound', MHG bellen 'to bark', ENHG bellen, billen, NHG bellen; from PGmc ✱bellan- 'to roar, bark' (DRV) - a back-formation from the iterative ✱bullōn- < ✱bʰlh₁-néh₂-
