Ibn Faris [died 1005] stated:

(مقاييس اللغة)

الباء والكاف والواو والهمزة أصلان: أحدهما البُكاء، والآخر نقصانُ الشيء

That it signifies firstly crying, weeping, and secondly deficit, loss, diminution of a thing.

Lane Lexicon: He wept; i. e. he lamented, or grieved, shedding tears at the same time; and he lamented, or grieved, alone; and he shed tears alone: (Er-Rághib, TA:) accord. to some, the preferable opinion is, that there is no difference between بُكَآءُ and بُكًا: (TA:) or the former means the crying, or uttering of the voice [of lamentation],
