Proto-Slavic
editEtymology
editProbably derived from Proto-Indo-European *bʰors- (“to point, to mark”) + *-da (positional particle), related to Sanskrit भृष्टि (bhṛṣṭi, “point, top”) (< *bʰr̥štíš), Proto-Germanic *barzdaz (“edge, brim”).[1] Perhaps further akin[2] to Lithuanian biržìs / bir̃žė (“furrow”), Latvian bìrze (“furrow”), which possibly reflect *bʰerH- (“to pierce”) instead. See references for further discussion.
