Hellenthal 2010: 490. Meaning glossed as 'mother, female'; cf. also bay-n 'wife'. In [Bender 1971: 262], however, the word bay is given as the default equivalent for 'woman'. Considering that there is no separate lexical item with the meaning 'woman' in Hellenthal's dictionary, we tentatively accept bay for primary slot position.
