Biz

biz bíz .biz Luxembourgish Etymology The use for a vessel is exclusively Luxembourgish (in the Rheinisches Wörterbuch only given for the border village of Körperich). A more widespread sense is an instrument for hitting, which also occurs in lb Uessebiz pizzle. This is either from lb nl pees (cf. nl bullenpees) or rather a derivative of lb gmh bōzen to hit. However, it is difficult to connect the two meanings. Thus alternatively perhaps comparable to regional de Bietz breast, mamma and further possibly from lb fro piz udder. The semantic connection in this case may be a spouted drinking vessel for children, but this is speculative. lb Pronunciation lb [biːt͡s] Noun m Bizen Bizer kettle, teapot, coffee pot lb Cookware and bakeware
