I'm not finding anything likely.

google:"ゴーブレーキは" (adding the は (wa, topic particle) to filter) turns up only three hits, of which only one doesn't have punctuation between the ゴー (gō) and the ブレーキ (burēki) -- but it's a blog hosted on a server in Poland, and visiting the site shows that it is indeed written in Polish, and the term ゴーブレーキ is nowhere to be found.

If @Kwékwlos can't add any more detail, I think we must delete this as unconfirmable. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 18:33, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

@Eirikr It is found on Tranter's "The Languages of Japan and Korea" citing Tsuhako's "Okinawa Chū-Nanbu hōgen", but I forgot to add it. Kwékwlos (talk) 21:04, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

@Kwékwlos — Ah, thank you! I don't suppose you can find any quotes? And is this Okinawan, as in Naha Ryukyuan, or Okinawan, as in Okinawan-flavored Japanese? A few of the mainland JA uses I encountered in searches seemed to suggest a subset of ブレーキ (burēki, “brake, as for a vehicle”), but I didn't (and don't) have time for a more extensive search. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 21:33, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

The actual Okinawan language, not the Japanese dialect. Kwékwlos (talk) 22:07, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
