Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /inˈbrin.ɡɑn/, [inˈbriŋ.ɡɑn]

1. to bring in, present
   • Liber Scintillarum gloss:

• As with other forms of bringan the preterite conjugation would likely have been suppleted from the closely related, and largely synonymous, verb inbrenġan.
• This verb glosses the Latin inferte, and could also be read separately as inn and bringan.
