| Bas means low or bottom (location or quality) in French. But the s is silent. |

Yes.
Sebastiaan, Bastiaan, Bas. Bastiaan is rather uncommon, Sebastiaan is a bit more common but Bas is the most common. I got several friends that are called Bas. One Sebastiaan and no Bastiaan.
It's tricky to write it phonetically in English though, I guess indeed Boz comes closest. |
Really? I only know the name Bastiaan because it's the name of the guy who wrote that book I posted. And I know no Sebastiaans... though, of course, I know very few Dutch people :p
Anyway, Bas, in several languages, according to the Wiktionary:
- Crimean Tatar: Bass
- Dutch: Imperative of "bassen" (To bark)
- French: Low, Bass, Stocking
- Polish: Bass
- Scottish Gaelic: Palm
- Slovene: Bass
- Swedish: base; foundation; (mathematics) base, basis; a set of vectors which span a certain space
(mathematics) base; the lower, horizontal line in a triangle or the horizontal plane in a cone, pyramid etc;(chemistry) base; alkali; (molecular biology, colloquial) nucleotide in the context of a DNA or RNA polymer; bass guitar; permanent structure for housing a military
- Turkish: Imperative of "basmak" (to press)
So it always means something related to being low or forced/opposed with/by your hands ("but" goes here to, as you're opposing the previous idea). The Dutch just happen to bark at this because they're way too tolerant.
Conclusion: Bas means "Oppressive" in a Proto-World-Language. Believe me, I know! |

I clearly stated that I copied and pasted it from the Wiktionary, and I didn't even proof-read it :p

writing arabic phonetically in english is always ing weird, especially since arabic has many letters and sounds that you will never able to properly spell.
and you and the horse you rode in on and your shawarma tastes like horse-. |
