Perche dialect, Orne region; According to Maurice-Erwin Guignard (1920-2001), a French amateur linguist, "a small droneless bagpipe of Saxon origin, which arrived in Normandy in the 13th century"; Latinists believe its name comes from the Latin Bûcina [Trumpet], but it may come from the Old Norse "bųss" [pipe/tube]; According to Duméril, "the name is without doubt (!) a derivation of Buccina [Trumpet]", referring to François-Just-Marie Raynouard, »Lexique roman ou dictionnaire de la langue des troubadours«, Tome 2 (Paris, 1836), p.268 [sic]; NB: ➺ homonym (bag, Brittany).
