== Japanese ==
Someone added the comment that this word does not exist in Japanese. I don't know Japanese, but an online translator told me that ''mesuinu'' and ''ikeike'' are equivalents. Can someone verify this? ~[[User:Mdd4696 |MDD]][[User talk:Mdd4696 |46]][[Special:Contributions/Mdd4696 |96]] 03:04, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't it look more than obvious that bitch and biche are related/could very well be related.
Considering that many, many English words are derived from French and not the other way round, wouldn't it be plausible that "bitch" does NOT have its immediate origin in Old Norse/Germanic forms but in the French "biche"?
This is not to say, this is so - but before looking up the etymology of "bitch" I had always automatically assumed that "bitch" was derived from the very similar word "biche"... {{unsigned}}
: Chambers' etymology doesn't mention the French either. [[User:Equinox|Equinox]] [[User_talk:Equinox|◑]] 23:01, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
