An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/bringen

by Friedrich Kluge

bringen, verb, ‘to bring, accompany,’ from the equivalent Middle High German bringen, Old High German bringan; compare Old Saxon brengian, Dutch brengen Anglo-Saxon bringan, English to bring, Gothic briggan, bringan, ‘to bring.’ The Aryan form of this specially Teutonic word, which is wanting only in Old Icelandic, would be bhrengh (bhrenk?); no cognates are recorded.
