Bru brüejen, brüen, ‘to scald, singe, burn’;  broeijen, ‘to warm, brood’; in earlier, too,  signifies ‘to brood,’ In spite of the meaning, the connection with  is, on phonetic grounds, improbable.   ,, ‘marshy copse,’ from brüel, , ‘low-land, marshy copse,’  bruil; from  breuil,  bruelh, ‘thicket’; of  origin (brogil).   ,, ‘to roar, bellow, low,’ from the  brüelen; in  dialects even now briele, brüele. The remarkable short ü of compared with  üe may be explained by the  brülte, where the shortness of the vowel is produced by the following double consonant;  *bruowilôn is wanting; allied perhaps to  brawl?. From the root brô (‘to scald’) in the sense of ‘to bubble’?.  ,, ‘to growl, snarl, grumble,’ from brummen,  , ‘to growl, hum,’ a deriv, of the    brimmen, ‘to growl, roar’ ( the   brimmen). This again is cognate with brëmen,  brëman, , ‘to growl, roar,’ since mm belongs properly only to the  and not to the other tenses. The cognates of the stem brëm-, which these verbs indicate, also includes brim, ‘surge,’  brim, ‘glow’ ( brimstone); other related words may be found under. The root brem, pre- bhrëm, appears in  fremere, ‘to gnash,’ with which some are fond of comparing  βρέμεω, ‘to rumble.’ The  bhram as a verbal stem significs ‘to move unsteadily’; bhramá,, ‘whirling flame,’ bhrmí, , ‘whirlwind.’ Hence the meaning ‘to rush, gnash, crackle,’ seems to have been developed from a vibrating motion, especially that of sound. See the following word.  ,, ‘rutting-time,’ from brunft, , ‘fire, heat, rutting season of deer, cry.’ The  brunft is of dual origin; in the sense of ‘heat’ it belongs to ,. , ‘the rutting season of deer,’ was rightly connected, as early as Lessing, with, since it “indicates the impulse of certain animals to copulation, that is to say, of those that roar or bellow in the act; ignorance and negligence have transformed this word into ” (Lessing).   ', ', ,, ‘fountain, spring, well.’ The form with the me - tathesis of the r is ; the first two are based upon brunne, , ‘spring, spring-water, well’;  brunno (beside which a form pfuzzi, ‘well,’ from  puteus, appears in ;  ). It is based upon an word;  brunna, ‘spring,’  burna (for brunna),  bourn (‘brook’). has been derived from, for which a primary meaning ‘to heave, seethe’ (  sôt, ‘well, draw-well’) is assumed without proof. φρέαρ, ‘well,’ scarcely points to a root bhru, ‘to heave, bubble’ (cognate with ?); nn may be a suffix, as perhaps in.   ,, recently borrowed from the  brünne ( brunna), , ‘breastplate’;   brunjô (whence  brunie),  brynja,  byrne; not from ; the appellations ‘glowing, shining,’ scarcely suit the earlier leather breastplates. bruinne, ‘breast,’ is more probably allied. From are borrowed  broigne and  brŭnja, ‘coat of mail.’   ,, from the  brunst, , ‘burning, fire, glow, heat, devastation by fire’ (, see );  brunst,  brunsts. In this  from the root of  is wanting (  from ); the s before the suffix t is due to the double n of the verb.   ,, ‘breast, chest, pap,’ from the  brust,  brust, ; it corresponds to  brusts, a  noun (conson. stem), ,  and  borst. In the other dialects the words corresponding exactly to  brusts are wanting; they have a peculiar  form:  breóst,  breast,  brjóst,  breost, which are related by gradation to. This term for breast is restricted to the languages (including  bruinne, ‘breast’?), the individual members of the Aryan group differing in this instance from each other, while other parts of the body (see ) are designated by names common to all of them. Of the approximate primary meaning of, or rather of the idea underlying the word, we know nothing; the only probable fact is that the primitive stem was originally declined in the dual, or rather in the plural. <section end="Brust" /> <section begin="Brut" /> ,, ‘brood, spawn, brats,’ from and  bruot, , ‘vivified by warmth, brood, animation by warmth, brooding, heat’;   broed,  brôd. <section end="Brut" />
