Proto-Brythonic
Etymology
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]
