köken: An Upper German verb, from earlier besteln, iterative of Middle High German besten, from Proto-West Germanic *bastijan. The -a- is perhaps dialectal or through readaptation to the underlying noun Bast (“bast”).

çekim: geçmiş babráltak
köken: Probably of onomatopoeic origin; from the same stem as babirkál (“to fritter, tinker”) + -ál (frequentative verb-forming suffix). The stem may also be related to the stem of bibe, bibi and bíbelődik. Possibly developed under the influence of Slovak babrať (“to fiddle with”), from Proto-Slavic *babrati. First attested in 1784.
