Proto-Germanic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

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-, similar to class III strong verbs (mixed weak (dental) and strong (ablauted) past tense forms are very unusual in Proto-Germanic, and this is the only known case). Compare Proto-Brythonic *hembrüngɨd (to accompany).
