bhreus-3, bhrū̆ s-

    bhreus-3, bhrū̆ s-

    English meaning: to boil; to sound, etc.

    Deutsche Übersetzung: “brausen, wallen, rauschen, hervorquellen or -sprießen, sich bauschen, Bũschel, Gestrũpp under likewise”

    Note: esp. in Gmc. words; perhaps to bhreu-s-1; also a new onomatopoeic word could have helped (similarly akr. brújīm, brújiti “buzz, hum from an swarm of bees”, Berneker 89).

    Material: M.H.G. brūsen “boom, blaster, roar”, brūs “the boom”, N.Ger. brūsen “boom, blaster, simmer, seethe, boil; be hasty (from people); spread out, grow new shoot (from plants); sprinkle, besprinkle “ (compare Ger. Brause) (out of it Dan. bruse ds.), Dutch bruisen, previous bruischen “foam, froth, bubble, roar, boom, blaster”, N.Ger. brūsken ds., M.H.G. brūsche “ douche, shower, spray, sprinkler “, O.S. brūsa “ storm ahead “, Nor. dial. brŏsa “ storm gust “, O.Ice. brusi “he-goat, billy goat “, Ice. bruskr “ tussock, besom “, Eng. brush “bristle brush, paintbrush, brush, tail (of foxes)”, brushwood ‘shrubbery, bush, shrubbery “, M.Eng. bruschen, Eng. to brush “comb with a brush”, Nor. dial. brauska, bruska and brausta, brusta “ make room, rush out forcefully “; Swe. bruska “rustle, rant, roister”. With Gmc. *bruska-z “ brushwood “, *bruskan “ crackle, rustle “ (-sk- could be IE zg) one compares the Bal.-Slav. groups Lith. brũzgai pl. “ brushwood “, briauzgà “ babbler “, bruzgù, -e ́ti “rustle”, Russ. brjuzgáju, -átь “mumble, murmur”, brjužžá tь “drone, grumble, murmur, growl “ etc; yet are the verb perhaps are only Bal.-Slav. onomatopoeic word formatIon. Because of the Gmc. meaning ‘spray” is perhaps on the other hand to be compared with Russ. brūzgaju, -atь ‘spray, sprinkle, bubble “ etc.
