Gothevian

Etymology

Inherited from Gothic 𐌱𐍂𐍉𐌸𐌰𐍂 (brōþar). Cognate to English brother, Dutch broer, German Bruder, Crimean Gothic bruder, Icelandic bróðir, Latin frāter. The expected reflex 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
