Word: бе́рег,
Near etymology: укр. бе́рег, бе́рiг, ст.-слав. брѣгъ "берег, склон", ὄχθη, αἰγιαλός, κρημνός, болг. брегъ́т, сербохорв. бри̏jег, словен. brė̑g "берег, склон", чеш. břeh, слвц. breh, польск. brzeg, в.-луж. brjóh, н.-луж. brjog.
Further etymology: Учитывая нисходящую интонацию и знач., едва ли можно рассматривать это слово как заимств. из герм.; см. Агрель, BSL 37; Мейе, RS 2, 69; Траутман, BSW 30 и сл. В то же время это слово связано с д.-в.-н. berg "гора", гот. baírgahei "горы", авест. barǝzah-cp. р. "гора, высота", арм. barjr "высокий", др.-инд. br̥hаnt-"высокий", авест. bǝrǝzant -- то же, кимр. bre "гора, холм", ирл. brí "гора". Родственные языки обнаруживают в этой группе слов и.-е. ǵh, которое должно было дать слав. z, но мог развиться и вариант с веларным задненёбным, если алб. burg "гора, горный хребет" (см. Иокль, ZONF 10, 183 и сл.) относится сюда же. В пользу исконнослав. происхождения слова берег высказывались еще Ягич (AfslPh 30, 457), Брюкнер (AfslPh 42, 138 и сл.), Брандт (РФВ 21, 206 и сл.). Заимств. из герм. принимают Бернекер (1, 49 и сл.), Хирт (РВВ 23, 332), Сольмсен (KZ 37, 575 и сл.), Торп (265). Наряду с этим существует возможность заимствования из неизвестного языка группы "кентум"; см. Кипарский 101 и сл.

German meaning: `hoch, erhaben'
Derivatives: bherĝhos `Berg', vielleicht Erweiterung von bher- `(tragen), heben' (s. dort die Gruppe von nhd. empor) oder von bher- `hervorstehen'; bhr̥ĝhú-s `hoch'; bherĝhō `berge'.
Material: Ai. Kaus. barháyati `mehrt', br̥ṁháti `macht feist, kräftigt, erhebt', vermutlich barha-s, -m `Schwanzfeder, Schwanz eines Vogels, bes. beim Pfau'; br̥hánt- `groß, hoch, erhaben, hehr', auch, hoch, laut, von der Stimme', fern. br̥hatī (= ir. Brigit, germ. Burgund), av. bǝrǝzant- (npers. buland), f. bǝrǝzaitī `hoch', im Kompositum bǝrǝzi- (: *bǝrǝzra-), bǝrǝz- `hoch' und `Höhe, Berg' (= npers. burz ds., ir. bri ́; der Nom. av. barš Subst. kann ar. -ar-, aber auch ar. -r̥- enthalten, Bartholomae IF. 9, 261), hochstufig av. uz-barǝzayeni `ich soll aufwachsen lassen' (dazu Σατι-βαρζάνης `Glück erhöhend', iran. *barzana-), barǝzan- m. barǝzah- n. `Höhe', barǝšnu- m. `Erhebung, Höhe, Himmel, Kopf', barǝzyah- `höher', barǝzišta- `der höchste, höchstgelegene'; npers. bāl-ā `Höhe' (*barz-), burz (s. oben); ai. br̥hánt- bedeutet auch `groß, gewaltig, dick, massenhaft' und br̥ṁhati `macht feist, kräftigt, stärkt, vermehrt, fördert', bŕ̥háṇā Adv. `dicht, fest, derb, tüchtig; sehr, durchaus', paribr̥ḍha-ḥ `feststehend, dicht, solid'.
Arm. berj `Höhe' in erkna-, lerna-berj `himmel-, berghoch' (*bherĝhos), barjr `hoch' (*bhr̥ĝhú-), (ham-)baṙnam (*barjnam, Aor. barji) `hebe auf' usw.
Berg- in ON der Mittelmeerländer: thrak. Βεργούλη, maked. Βέργα, ill. Berginium (Bruttium: Bergae), lig. Bergomum, kelto-lig. Bergusia, hisp. Bergantia usw. Über das p- in kleinas. Πέργη, Πέργαμος, maked. kret. Πέργαμος Vermutungen bei Kretschmer Gl. 22, 100 f., Krahe ZNF. 19, 64.
Lat. for(c)tis, alat. forctus, dial. horctus, horctis `kräftig, ausdauernd, tapfer' (aus *forg-tos, idg. *bhrĝh-tos = ai. br̥ḍháḥ).
Cymr. bera `Haufe' (= nhd. Berg), acorn. bret. bern ds. (-rĝh-n-? s. Pedersen KG. I 105), gall. ON Bergusia, schwundstufig mir. brí, Akk. brig `Hügel' (s. oben), cymr. bry `hoch, oben', fem., cymr. corn. bret. bre `Hügel', gall. Litano-briga u. a. ON; gall. Brigantes, Βρίγαντες Volksname (entweder `die Hohen, Edlen' oder `Höhenbewohner'; ai. br̥hant-), Brigantia ON `Bregenz' und Name einer weiblichen Gottheit, air. Brigit (*bhr̥ĝhn̥tī) `Name einer berühmten Heiligen undüberhaupt Frauenname' (auch ai. br̥hatī́ ist als Frauenname gebraucht, ebenso ahd. Purgunt), cymr.braint `Vorrecht, Prärogative' (eig. `Hoheit'), pl. breiniau, dazu mcymr. breenhin, ncymr. brenin `König', corn. brentyn, bryntyn ds. (*brigantīnos).
Got. baírgahei `Berggegend', aisl. bjarg und berg, ahd. as. berg `Berg', ags. beorh, beorg `Höhe, Grabhügel', engl. barrow `Grabhügel' (vgl. arm. -berj, cymr. bera, ai. barha-);
germ. *burgundī (= ai. br̥hatī, kelt. *brigantī, ir. Brigit) in Burgund, älteste Namensform von Bornholm (eig. `die Hochragende') und Name dänischer und norw. Inseln, ahd. Purgunt Frauenname, dazu Burgundiōnes, Stammesname.
Got. baurgs f. `Stadt, Turm', ahd. burg usw. `Burg' ist echt germ. Entsprechnng von av. bǝrǝz-, kelt. brig- mit der Bed. `befestigte Höhe als Fluchtburg'; damit ist jedoch lat. burgus `Wachtturm' zusammengefallen, das aus gr. πύργος `Turm' entlehnt ist, einem oriental. Kulturwort(?), das aus urart. burgana `Palast, Festung' stammt (820 v. Chr., s. Adontz REtIE 1, 465), wovon auch arm. burgn, aram. burgin, burgon `Turm' usw. herzuleiten sind. Nach Kretschmer wäre jedoch πύργος germ. Lw.
Dieser betrachtet *berĝhō `berge', ursprgl. angeblich `bringe auf einer Fluchtburg unter' als retrograde Ableitung zu *bherĝh- `Berg' (Gl. 22, 113); s. darüber S. 145.
Aksl. brěgъ `Ufer, Abhang', skr. brȉjeg `Hügel, Ufer', russ. bēreg ds., ist wohl kein germ. Lw., sondern eher ven.-ill. Herkunft; Brückner KZ. 46, 232, Persson Beitr. 927; das von letzterem mit brěgъ als echt slavischem Worte verbundene klr. o-boříh, čech. brah `Heuschober' usw. gehört vielmehr zu aksl. brěgǫ `sorge' (*bewahre, berge), wie stogъ : στέγω.
Mit anderer Vokalstellung *bhregh- vielleicht in ags. brego, breogo `Herr, Herrscher, Fürst', aisl. bragr `bester, trefflichster, vornehmster, princeps', mhd. brogen `sich erheben, in die Höhe richten, übermütig großtun'.
Toch. AB pärk- `sich erheben', A pärkānt, В pirko `das Aufstehen', A pärkär, В parkre, pärkre `lang'; vielleicht A prākär, В prākre `fest' (vgl. lat. fortis); hitt. pár-ku-uš (parkus) `hoch' (: arm. barjr).

В груз. еще имеется диалектное breg- 'небольшая возвышенность', возможно, от того же корня; Климов (1994, 173) считает это слово индоевропеизмом (из того же индоевропейского корня *bherǵh- - хотя конкретный источник неясен).
