|etymtx=Grammatical information: adj.<br />Meaning: [[allowable to be trodden]], [[profane]], [[permitted]] (Trag.)<br />Dialectal forms: Dor. <b class="b3">βέβαλος</b>, Cyrene <b class="b3">βάβαλος</b>.<br />Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]<br />Etymology: Like <b class="b3">βέβαιος</b> connected with the perfect <b class="b3">βέβη-κα</b>, but the formation is not quite clear (improbable Schwyzer IF 45, 252ff.). Also Cyren. <b class="b3">βάβαλος</b> is problematic. Cf. Kretschmer Glotta 18, 235.
