beekv.1

Brit. /biːk/, U.S. /bik/, Scottish English /bik/
Forms: Middle English–1500s beke, Middle English–1500s beyke, 1500s Scottish beik, 1500s–1600s beak, 1500s– beek.
Etymology: Chiefly northern: of uncertain origin. The analogy in form and sense of bake, beek, to bathe, beathe, suggests possible connection with bake. An Old Germanic *bôkian < bôk, past tense of bakan would have given an Old English *bóecen, bécen, and Middle English beke, beek; but no trace of the older forms is found. Another suggestion would refer beke to the stem of bæwen to foment (in Ormin) with suffixal k: compare, in same sense, dialect German bächeln, bächern, which Grimm refers to bähen to foment.
Now only Scottish or northern dialect.
