It is attached to other words or roots.This instrumental prefix is one of three (ba- (cutting motion), bo- (force), and da- (extreme temperature)) that has stress if it is the first syllable of a word. Noting this can be helpful since ba- can be confused with other instrumental prefixes that are spelled the same (e.g., ba- (by pushing)), but have stress on the following syllable.
