["Baa" is] what imitates the bleating of sheep; Attic-speakers do not say bai/. Cratinus in Dionysalexandros: "of course the last one goes along saying 'beh beh' like a sheep."
Βή τὸ μιμητικὸν τῆς τῶν προβάτων φωνῆς, οὐχὶ βαὶ λέγουσιν Ἀττικοί. Κρατῖνος Διονυσαλεξάνδρῳ· ὁ δὴ λοίσθιος ὥσπερ πρόβατον βὴ βὴ λέγων βαδίζει.
