Baukas

Cf. Latin Bаuсе k., Baũči k., Baũkas k., which are compared with Latv. bàuka „sena, sukiužusi bakūžė“ and lit. baũkis „apsileidęs žmogus“ - LKŽ I 694 ¹. Cf. still lit. baukỹs „plikakaktis“, baũkti „baubti, bliauti, rėkti“ (LKŽ I 694). However, in individual cases, other connections are also possible - cf. German Bauke, Pauk < *Bauk ², Bauk, Bäuke ³.
