==Romanian==

===Alternative forms===
* {{alt|ro|buh}}

===Etymology===
{{inh+|ro|LL.|būfus}}, probably of {{onomatopoeic|ro|nocap=1}} origin.

Cognate to {{cog|rup|buf}} and {{cog|ruq|buf}}, as well as {{cog|es|búho}}. The similar terms, also in the significantly less Slavic-contact language Aromanian, speak clearly in favor of a common etymology before the dispersal of Proto-Romanian. The derivation from {{m|ro|buh}} is ruled out because [h] does not change to [f] in variant formation with the only exception of preceding another consonant. Compare further to {{cog|mk|був}} and {{cog|bg|бух||eagle owl}}, as well as Ancient Greek {{m|grc|βοῦφος}}.
