A suggestion concerning words that can not be found in your dictionary. Starting with the first few letters see what the closest word that you can find, as in this case "bau'"; then search the dictionary for the balance of the word and, if, found conbine the two to get the meaning. At times you may have to go still further with additional letters. Just remember that a lot of German words are made up of combinations of other words.
