Words we already knew because they are plurals of a two-letter word

BAS

BIS

BOS

BYS

More mouth sounds!

BAA

BAH

BOH#

BOO

Easy loan words

BAO#	Chinese steamed bun
BEN	Scottish mountain peak (as in Ben Nevis)
BES	Another Hebrew letter. The second of the alphabet, also BETH (plural is BESES)
BEY	Turkish governor
BOK#	Africaans for an antelope, as in Springbok, Reebok. Like buck.

Words that were new to me

BAC#	Baccalaureate, a university degree
BAL	A type of shoe, from “Balmoral”. Detailed shoe nerdery at this guide.
BAM	To hoax. Possibly from “bamboozle”. Current in the early 18th century. Also as a noun in the Scots sense.
BEZ#	The second tine of a deer’s horn. Not in the OED, but Google Books is convincing.
BOI#	In various contexts, an alternative spelling of “boy”.
BON#	Good, adj. Literally French again, but part of multiple naturalized phrases. I’m sure I read somewhere that that qualified things for inclusion. I’m choosing to believe BONIER and BONIEST wouldn’t be valid if BONY wasn’t a word.
BOR#	A form of address for a neighbour, formerly used in East Anglian dialect.
BRU#	Like BRO, but more South African. Some examples
BUR	Variant of BURR, in many of its meanings, including as a rough edge, or the act of removing a rough edge.

Top 5 4 sketchy inclusions:

None of these seem as bad as the bad A words.

• BES should be dropped in favour of BETH, we don’t need two competing transliterations for the Hebrew letters. (But this will also cost some useful 2-letter words, so I’m happy to let it slide.)
• BOH is every day losing ground to DOH, but Francis Beaumont has won me round to it:

• BOR might be the most obscure, but it has citations from the 19th century.
• BUR is usually a spelling error

Good job, B words
