Gothevian

Etymology

Inherited from Gothic 𐌱𐍂𐍉𐌸𐌰𐍂 (brōþar). Cognate to Dutch ette, Alemannic German Ätti, Latin atta, Albanian atë, Bulgarian отец (otec). The expected relex of the Wulfilan Gothic form would be *bros (*bros), so it may have been descendent from a shortened variant *𐌱𐍂𐌰𐌿𐌸𐌰𐍂 (*brauþar) or experienced irregular vowel shortening.

Pronunciation

• IPA: /bros/

Noun

brɔs (brɔs) m (plural bròzyš, definite bròzyn, collective gybròs, relational adjective bròzɛin)

1. brother
2. (colloquial, vocative) bro, mate, pal
