*bʰreh₁-to burn, brew
verbStrong class 7eto singe, warm, brewAn o-grade intensive, pre-Germanic *bʰroh₁-e/o-, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreh₁- (‘to burn, brew’), with no certain cognates outside of Proto-Germanic. Though the original verb was likely strong, the descendants clearly show a reformulation as a weak verb, with reflexes of the -j- in some endings, as well as i-mutation in the German root. The Proto-West Germanic reflex must have been *brōan > *brōjan. Note the strong semantic and phonetic resemblance to Proto-Indo-European *bʰrewh₁- (‘to boil, brew’; whence Proto-Germanic *brewwaną (‘to brew’)). Also related to *brēdaną (‘to warm, heat, broil; roast (meat)’), and *brējaną (‘to roast, smell’).
