בכה- Weep
בכא - Mulberry

בקע
This cognates with διχάς 'Divide in two, half, middle'' and thus also a cognate of תוך

A root form is δίς or 'δυις in Latin is either bis- and dis-, the D drops out and υ becomes ב.

This can be seen in another Latin word, duellum also written bellum, in Greek written πολεμέω
and in Hebrew, מלחמה 'War', Genesis 14:2 מלחמה (Hb) πόλεμον (Gk) Bellum(lt).

וַיְשִׁבֵנִי אֶל פֶּתַח הַבַּיִת וְהִנֵּה מַיִם יֹצְאִים מִתַּחַת מִפְתַּן הַבַּיִת קָדִימָה כִּי פְנֵי הַבַּיִת קָדִים וְהַמַּיִם יֹרְדִים מִתַּחַת מִכֶּתֶף הַבַּיִת הַיְמָנִית מִנֶּגֶב לַמִּזְבֵּחַ. וַיּוֹצִאֵנִי דֶּרֶךְ שַׁעַר צָפוֹנָה וַיְסִבֵּנִי דֶּרֶךְ חוּץ אֶל שַׁעַר הַחוּץ דֶּרֶךְ הַפּוֹנֶה קָדִים וְהִנֵּה מַיִם מְפַכִּים מִן הַכָּתֵף הַיְמָנִית
KJV: Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

בשם BSM (related to פטם 'fatten'), is 'full of body', methinks. בשמת = בשם-את is 'the beautiful', methinks.

Ezekiel places 'Eden' in the Lebanon (all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon - Ezekiel 31:16) and the most fertile part of the Levant, is the Valley of Beqaa, situated between Mount Lebanon to the west and Anti-Lebanon mountains to the east and here we have the city of Baalbek, with a temple dedicated too Bacchus, the largest Roman temple in the world that dwarfs the temple of Jerusalem, thus Bacchus must have being a significant god in that region.

Baalbek - φιλόβακχος (בעלהבכא) "Lover of Bacchus"

Psalm 84:6 - Who passing through the valley of Baca (הבכא) make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
Genesis 11:2 - they found a plain (בקעה)
