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
BAW	Scots for “ball”
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
