brzëczka

Kashubian

Etymology

Uncertain. Boryś refutes a connection to Proto-Slavic *brečьka, given that Kashubian ë can only result from *i, *y, or *u, instead suggesting brëcza +‎ -ka, where the r changed to rz via assimilation to cz.[1]

  • IPA(key): /ˈbr̝ɜt͡ʃ.ka/
  • Rhymes: -ɜt͡ʃka
  • Syllabification: brzëcz‧ka
