Proto-Germanic
Etymology
Probably from a Pre-Germanic *bʰrenḱ-, a compound root from Proto-Indo-European *bʰer- (“to carry”) + h₁n(e)ḱ- (“to bring”) or h₂n(e)ḱ- (“to reach, attain”).[1] The past tense stem came from *bʰronḱ-, o-grade of *bʰrenḱ- (mixed weak (dental) and strong (ablauted) past tense forms are very unusual in Proto-Germanic, and this is the only known case). Compare Proto-Celtic *sem-brenketi (“to accompany”).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈbriŋ.ɡɑ.nɑ̃/
