s, z or r?
[edit]This term can't have s, judging by the Old Saxon and OHG cognates. z normally becomes r in West Germanic. But the Romance loans have s, which doesn't really fit. I wonder if that is a sign that the change of z to r hadn't happened at the time of borrowing. If that's true, then that would have a lot of implications for the morphology of Frankish as well. โCodeCat 23:49, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- That, or it was influenced by *brust, *burst (โa bristle, prickโ), ultimately from the same root. --Victar (talk) 00:52, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

it implies that the Romance loans are from Gothic *๐ฑ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ณ๐๐ฝ (*bruzdลn), not from West Germanic at all. I'm currently in the process of moving our Frankish entries to Proto-West Germanic, but I'm tempted to move this page to the Gothic reconstruction instead. What do other people think? โMahฤgaja ยท talk 20:19, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- In the absence of any objection (indeed, any discussion at all), I'm moving it to Gothic now. โMahฤgaja ยท talk 14:06, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
