Etymology[edit]

Exopassive of (OC *brenʔ, “to divide, distinguish, discriminate”); possibly in the same word-family as another exopassive (OC *breːns, “what is divided”). These three thus may be related to either (OC *praːn, “to distribute → to arrange, classify → class, group”) or Mizo pʰel (to split, cut in halves) (with medial *-r- dropped after labial initials according to Mizo phonotactics) (Schuessler, 2007).
