Material: Ai. bhrā́śatē `flammt, leuchtet' (unbelegt); gr. φορκόν λευκόν, πολιόν, ῥυσόν Hes., vgl. aber S. 134;
vielleicht hierher air. brecc `gefleckt', cymr. brych ds., gall. PN Briccius (aus *bhr̥k̂-, mit expressiver Konsonantendehnung);
unsichere Vermutungen über die Herkunft von cymr. breuddwyd `Traum', mir. bruatar ds. bei Pedersen Litteris 7, 18, Pokorny IF. Anzeiger 39, 12 f.; ob aus *bhrogʷhdh-eiti-, -ro-?
mhd. brehen `plötzlich und stark aufleuchten', aisl. brjā, brā (*brehōn) `aufleuchten', braga, bragða `funkeln, flammen', bragð `Augenblick', mit ursprgl. bloß präs. -dh- auch aisl. bregða, Prät. brā `schnell bewegen, schwingen, vorwerfen', ags. bregdan, brēdan st.
