Noun [Proto-Germanic]

IPA: /ˈbe.rɔːː/
Etymology: Conventionally from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerH- (“grey, brown”). Ringe, discrediting the existence of such a root, suggests instead *ǵʰwer- (“wild animal”). Blažek (2017) suggests *bʰerH- (“to bore, to pierce”), from which several IE terms for beehive are derived, e.g. Proto-Slavic *bъrtь (“hive of wild bees”). Etymology templates: {{der|gem-pro|ine-pro|*bʰerH-||grey, brown}} Proto-Indo-European *bʰerH- (“grey, brown”), {{m+|sla-pro|*bъrtь||hive of wild bees}} Proto-Slavic *bъrtь (“hive of wild bees”) Inflection templates: {{gem-decl-noun}} Forms: no-table-tags [table-tags], berô [nominative, singular], birniz [nominative, plural], berô [singular, vocative], birniz [plural, vocative], bernų [accusative, singular], bernunz [accusative, plural], birniz [genitive, singular], bernǫ̂ [genitive, plural], birni [dative, singular], bernumaz [dative, plural], bernē [instrumental, singular], bernumiz [instrumental, plural]
