Marius, *bHosó- (the oxytone accent indicated by Germanic *Baza-) is an
adjective, so the inflectons depend on the gender. It's declined just
like any other thematic adjective:

m. *-os, *-osjo, *-om; *-õ:s (= *-o-es), *-õ:m (= *-o-o:m), *-o(:)ns
n. *-om, *-osjo, *-om; *-ah2, *-õ:m, *-ah2
f. *-ah2, *-ah2s, *-a:m (= *-ah2-m); *-ah2as (= *ah2-es), *-ah2o:m,
*-a:ns (= *-ah2-ns)

_if_ the feminine forms count as PIE; note the loss of *h2 before final
nasals already in the protolanguage.
