Rö-stenen i Bohuslän och runorna i Norden under folkvandringstiden. Uppsala Universitets Årsskrift 1924: Filosofi, språkvetenskap och historiska vetenskaper 4Ottovon FriesenAlmqvist & Wiksell1924*bʰrem-to make noise
nounneutera-stemsurf, the sea; edgeFrom Proto-Indo-European *bʰrem- (either the, ‘edge, point, spike; sense, or the ‘to roar’ sense’). The raising of PIE /e/ > Proto-Germanic /i/ could point to an original extension or suffix containing a consonant or a laryngeal, as the raising rule necessitates a nasal + consonant. Von Friesen 1924 considers the word to have been an original s-stem that was remodeled as an a-stem, and also notes a close relationship to *brezdaz (‘board, plank, shelf’), which could resolve the vowel issue if this stem originally had an s-extension, **bʰrems-os or **bʰrems-on.
