From Proto-Balto-Slavic *burˀnāˀ, often thought to be from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerH- (“to bore, pierce”), the “mouth” being perceived as a “hole, opening”. Cognate with Latvian pur̂ns (“snout”), Bulgarian бърна (bǎrna, “lip”); more distant cognates may include Armenian բերան (beran, “mouth”), Old Norse barki (“throat, windpipe”).
