Bray 1934: 155. Cf. also his 'ashes' [Bray 1934: 138] (suggested borrowing from or connection with Baluchi heːs 'rust, dirt', but without any certainty).

Bray 1934: 114. A compound formation from the formally nominal stem gaʈ '(a) bite' + the verb halliŋg 'to seize'. Alternately, cf. also various complex formations with the word baː 'mouth' q.v.: baː šaːɣ-iŋg 'to bite' (literally, 'to mouth-seize'), baːbiʈ-iŋg 'to bite at' (literally, 'to mouth-throw'), etc. [Bray 1934: 59].
Bray 1934: 64. The word has a wide variety of allomorphs: imperative ba ~ bar-ak, present tense stem bar-eː-, past stem ba-ss-, negative stem ba-). The basic alternation is between ba- and bar-, reflecting an archaic feature of the Proto-Dravidian form.
