brū — root · say, speak
The bare root used as imperative stem. Belongs to √brū (speak, utter), an ancient root for vocal utterance found across Indo-European languages.

Etymology. √brū belongs to the Indo-European root *bʰreuH- (to speak, roar, cry out), cognate with Latin fāma (fame, repute), Greek φρήν (phrēn, mind—originally the seat of speech and thought), and English bruit (archaic: to noise abroad). The root carries the primal sense of vocalization and utterance.
