baba

My baba, Ksenia Dubinsky, tells me that my education makes her proud.

Only two women, typical "babas" (peasant women) in the house from which I got my quilt and bedcloth, could be coaxed to pose;

The first time I signed my exercise I wrote "Pisistratus Caxton" in my best round-hand. "And dey call your baba a scholar!" said the Doctor, contemptuously.

While I was in Port Alberni, three babas came to Canada to raise money ...

That is to say, if I do not take care, I shall go on calling my darling 'Baba' till she is as old as her mamma, and has a dozen Babas of her own.

Oh, it's storytime! Let me get my baba.
