** 1952, Shaw Desmond, Love by the Dark Water, page 11:Down there where the Bibe had her hole out of which she would howl to the rising moon and to the fairy peoples that would be peeping out at the new moon only to withdraw their small heads as they heard the cry of the Bibe.

### Etymology

Probably a nominalization of the present participle (formed with -e (obsolete present-participle suffix)) of an unattested stem. The stem is of onomatopoeic origin and is possibly the same as in bíbelődik; it may also be related to the stem of babrál and babirkál. First attested in 1578. The term developed alongside bibi through a semantic split.
For phonetically similar equivalents of the “minor injury” sense (sense 1), see German Wehweh, Wehwehchen, French bobo, Czech bebé, bebíčko. The “stigma” sense (sense 4) is a semantic loan from Latin stigma (“brand (burned mark); stigma”), from Ancient Greek στῐ́γμᾰ (stĭ́gmă, “mark, brand”).
