Proto-Italic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Many apparent cognates can be found around Europe, such as Old Irish bairgen (“bread”), Welsh bara (“bread”), Proto-Slavic *boršьno, and Proto-Germanic *baraz (“barley”), tentatively from Proto-Indo-European *bʰers- (“spike, bristle”). The matching s-stem in Germanic could point to *bʰéros ~ *bʰéresos. However, De Vaan doubts the existence of an inherited Indo-European root for these, given the *a shared by the words, and wonders if they were derived from a foreign source.[1]
