"braga" meaning in Proto-Slavic

See braga in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: East Slavic isogloss, of uncertain origin. Due to its limited attestation, no secure etymology could be reconstructed, however, on basis of semantics it may be supposed that the word is related to Proto-Slavic *brьzgati/*brězgati (“to decompose, to burst, to get bitter/sour”). Perhaps, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreHg- (“to rot, to have strong odour”). Usually compared to Welsh brag (“malt”) and Irish braich (“malt”), with Vasmer even admitting the possibility that the Slavic lemma was borrowed from an early Celtic dialect. This is unlikely in view of Old Irish mraich, which favors the reconstruction of Proto-Celtic *mrakis rather than *brakis.

  "etymology_text": "East Slavic isogloss, of uncertain origin. Due to its limited attestation, no secure etymology could be reconstructed, however, on basis of semantics it may be supposed that the word is related to Proto-Slavic *brьzgati/*brězgati (“to decompose, to burst, to get bitter/sour”). Perhaps, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreHg- (“to rot, to have strong odour”).\nUsually compared to Welsh brag (“malt”) and Irish braich (“malt”), with Vasmer even admitting the possibility that the Slavic lemma was borrowed from an early Celtic dialect. This is unlikely in view of Old Irish mraich, which favors the reconstruction of Proto-Celtic *mrakis rather than *brakis.",
