They call other humans this as well. I think it means either Human, Infidel, or Scum.

It means, essentially, unbeliever. Someone who doesn't believe in the Qun.

Don't quote me but I suspect the word Bas means "Someone not of the Qun." or something to that affect. Basra I have no clue. I did notice the Arishok call me human a couple times so I don't think they mean the same thing.

Well bas apparently means "thing" or "nonperson".
Make of that what you will.

As I understood from the confrontation with the Qunari in Shepherding Wolves, the word 'Basra' is used for someone who has to die according to the Qun (unleashed, ungagged mages for instance), where as 'Bas' would be someone 'not of the Qun' but without the judgement of death attached.

Also a city in Iraq. That's probably not germane to this discussion, however.

It means outsider, one not of the qun.

Literally, bas means 'thing' and I believe ra means 'other.'

Sometimes it sounded like they were saying "basura" -- garbage.
Funny how that worked out.

Yo yo yo and a basra to you homie, the Qunari are the shizzle my main man!

I was hoping for that line to improve my rating with the Arishok. Alas the writers have no imagination.

Bas means a foreigner or thing.
I would suspect that Basra would mean foreigners/things
