𐌁𐌓𐌝𐌌𐌄𐌒𐌋𐌞𐌝

Unknown. There are no known cognates in any other language and only one other name in the Sabellian languages that contains the morpheme *-klos is 𐌇𐌄𐌓𐌄𐌊𐌋𐌞𐌝 (hereklúí), a word borrowed from Ancient Greek Ἡρακλῆς (Hēraklês). It has also been proposed that the term is connected to Ancient Greek Βριμώ (Brimṓ), although this connection is disputed as the stressed /í/ in the term may contradict such an etymological relationship.

It has also been interpreted as a descendant of *breɣʷis. Perhaps the locative singular form of the adjective evolved into *brefmei, then *brēmei, which would be represented in South Picene orthography as *brímeí. Then this form may have been suffixed with *-klo- to form 𐌁𐌓𐌝𐌌𐌄𐌒𐌋𐌞𐌝 (brímeqlúí). According to this theory, the term may be related to Latin brūma (“winter solstice”). The term may reference the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. This theory is, however, disputed as the series of phonological developments required for its occurrence may be improbable.
