# bikin
## Betawi
### Alternative forms

* békin (obsolete)

### Etymology

Vowel assimilation from békin, from early Batavian Malay baik (“good, fit, proper”) +‎ -in. Doublet of baè' and baèk. Compare Malay baiki, membaiki (“to fix, to repair”, literally “to make good”), the form beki found in Kelantan and Coastal Terengganu with the suffix fossilized, as well as the first part of Manado Malay bekiapa, kiapa and North Moluccan Malay bikiapa (“why”, literally “to make what, to cause what”). Both baiki and beki are also attested in Malay records from the 17th to the 19th centuries with the sense of "to make, to construct".
