Notes

  1. ^ Based on Sanskrit ब्रध्न (bradhna) and a presumed Germanic source of Latin blondus. However, the former has alternative possible etymologies, and the latter has no actual Germanic reflexes. Even if a reconstruction *bʰlendʰ- for these is valid, it might not belong here; Watkins suggests derivation from *bʰel- (“to blaze, be shiny”).
  2. ^ Alternatively linked to Proto-Slavic *bronъ (“white, grayish”) (for earlier **brodnъ) and Albanian bram (“rust, earwax, residue”). Both proposed etymologies are problematic.
