Proto-Celtic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrḗǵʰ-o-s, thematized from *bʰrḗǵʰ-s ~ *bʰréǵʰ-s, from liquid metathesized *bʰerǵʰ- (“to rise; high”),[1] compare cognates Latin fortis (“strong, powerful”), Sanskrit बृहत् (bṛhat, “mighty, strong”). Alternatively related to Proto-West Germanic *krīgan (“to strive”) and Ancient Greek βρῖθος (brîthos, “weight”), from hypothetical Proto-Indo-European *gʷreyH-,[2] however the Greek is likely a substrate borrowing,[3] and neither are semantically compelling.[4]
