Galician

As Burgas, Ourense

Etymology

Debated. Documented as burgana in Medieval Latin local documents. Either from Vulgar Latin, or from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "qfa-sub-ibe" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF., from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrewh₁- (to boil).

Pronunciation

Noun

burga f (plural burgas)

  1. hot spring

Usage notes

Whilst toponomy shows that once this word was in use in most of Galicia, today it is mostly reduced to name the hot springs of the city of Ourense.
