Throughout the ancient world, there are many names given to brass instruments which incorporate the pu/bu sound. These are so numerous as to suggest that the confluence of names is more than a coincidence. It may well be that the sound of pu/bu is reminiscent of the blowing of a horn or trumpet or that the shape of the lips when making these sounds mimic the shape when blowing instruments.
