词源

Borrowed from French bilocchy (recorded by Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville in 1699), itself a corruption of Biloxi Tanêks ąyaadi (literally “first people”). The shift of /t/ to /b/ and /n/ to /l/ occurred via Mobilian, however James Owen Dorsey has stated that this “agrees with the laws of Siouan consonant changes”.
