Proto-Brythonic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From *hem- +‎ *brüngɨd, presumably from Proto-Celtic *brunketi, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *br-n̥k-e-ti, from *bʰer- (“to bear, carry”) +‎ *h₂neḱ- (“to reach, bring”), probably through a stage where the latter two roots were concatenated into one (compare Proto-Germanic *bringaną (“to bring”)).[1]

Verb[edit]

*hembrüngɨd

  1. to accompany, escort

Descendants[edit]
