"burgz" meaning in All languages combined

See burgz on Wiktionary

Noun [Proto-Germanic]

IPA: /burɣz/
Etymology: Either: * from Proto-Indo-European *bʰérǵʰs (“something high up and fortified”) * or from Proto-Indo-European *bʰergʰ- (“to take care of, protect, preserve”). Both theories are formally and semantically reasonable. For a semantic parallel, compare Latin arx, which goes through the meanings of *burgz and of *bergaz (“stronghold, refuge, summit”); perhaps both Indo-European roots conflated and contributed to the proto-Germanic term's development.
