• Bahlui — A river in the Moldavia region, northeastern Romania, serving as the main tributary of the Jijia River; it rises in the Tudora hills (Botoșani County), flows through the Moldavian Plain, and traverses the city of Iași from west to east. Historically and culturally, it is deeply linked to the identity of Iași, frequently appearing in Romanian literature, with its name originally rooted in Cuman or Slavic terms suggesting muddy or marshy waters.
• Bahluian — Pertaining to or characteristic of the Bahlui River region or the human communities settled along its valley; a native inhabitant of the Bahlui area or the city of Iași (used regionally or literary).

• Bahluieț — A small river in the Moldavia region, northeastern Romania, serving as a left tributary of the Bahlui River; it rises in the hilly area of Iași County and flows through several rural localities before merging with the main course. Linguistically, its name represents a diminutive form of the major hydronym 'Bahlui', reflecting its smaller channel size and water volume.
• Bahna — The name of a commune and its administrative village in Neamț County, Moldavia, Romania; it also designates several small streams and rural localities across Bacău, Mehedinți, or Suceava counties.

• Bain-marie — A culinary technique and kitchen equipment used for gentle, gradual heating or melting, involving placing a vessel containing food into a larger container filled with hot water; a water bath.
