Crimean Gothic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Probably from Proto-Germanic *burjōną. Akin to Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐌱𐌰𐌿𐍂𐌾𐍉𐌸𐌿𐍃 (gabaurjōþus, “pleasure”). Krause & Slocum argue that the ending may reflect the Proto-Germanic nominative singular ending *-az.[1]
Noun
[edit]borrotsch
- desire
- 1562, Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, (Please provide the book title or journal name):
- Borrotsch. Voluntas.
- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
Usage notes
[edit]The Latin gloss is possibly a misprint for voluptas (“pleasure”).
