Bre, ); the form with simple n is seen in  bryne, ‘conflagration’ (from bruni). A root bren-, pre- bhren, with the meaning ‘to burn,’ has not yet been authenticated in the other Aryan languages. ', , ‘to taste burnt,’ first occurs in  a frequentative form of .  ', , ‘breach, gap,’  only, from  brèche, whence also the   bres. The  word is usually traced back to the  stem of .   , , ‘board, plank, shelf, counter,’ from the   brët,  brët, ; corresponds to  brëd, n,;  *brid, . It has been shown under , ‘board,’ that the  word for  had two stems, primarily identical and separated only by gradation, viz., bredo- and bordo-, whose connection might be represented thus:  bradhas is related to bṛdhas, as Aryan bhrédhos is to bhṛdhós, ;  brët combines the meanings ‘board, shield,’ &c., like  bord; see also.   ,, , ‘cracknell,’ from the  brezel, also breze,  brezitella and brezita (bergita); allied to  die bretzen,  brätzg, brätzet,  brestell. The form as well as  brizzilla presupposes a  ë; but the vowel sounds of the remaining forms are uncertain. It is most frequently referred to brâcéllum (whence brăzil, and by mutation brĕzil’), or rather brâchiólum, ‘little arm’ (the different kinds of pastry are named from their shape;  e.g.  krâpfe, ‘hook, hook-shaped pastry’);  brœzte would be brâchitum. From brézitella the   (Strassb.) was produced, while breztella was resolved by a wrong division of syllables into ; thus we deduce In   from, i.e. . The absence of the word in  (yet   bracciatello) seems to militate against the derivation of the whole of this class from  bracchium. In that case bergita, brezita, might perhaps be connected with  byrgan, ‘to eat,’  bargen, ‘cake.’   ,, ‘letter, epistle,’ from brief,  brief, ; from  brĕvis (scil. libellus); the lengthened ê from ĕ in words borrowed from  becomes ea and then ie ;  brevis and breve, ‘note, document,’ The  word had originally a more general signification,  ‘document,’ hence the. and brief, ‘letter, document,’ and generally ‘a writing.’ When the  Runic characters were exchanged for the more convenient Roman letters (see  as well as ), the Germans adopted some terms connected with writing;  briaf appears in the 9th  (the  word is bôka, ‘document’).   ,, ‘spectacles,’ from late barille, berille, brille, ‘spectacles’ ( bril); properly the gem - beryllus (the syncope of the unaccented e is amply attested by , , , &c.);.  ,, ‘to bring, accompany,’ from the  bringen,  bringan;   brengian,  brengen  bringan,  to bring,  briggan, bringan, ‘to bring.’ The Aryan form of this specially  word, which is wanting only in , would be bhrengh (bhrenk?); no cognates are recorded.  ,, ‘grassy hillock, green sward,’ from brink,   brekka (from *brinkô), , both meaning ‘hill’; akin to  brink, and  bringa, ‘mead.’  , see.  ,, from the  breeze (whence also  brise ?).
