Irish
Etymology
From Old Irish i mbárach (“tomorrow”), from bárach (“morrow”),[1] from Proto-Celtic *bāregos (“morning”) (compare Welsh bore, Cornish bore, Breton beure), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *mr̥Hko- (compare English morning, Lithuanian mérkti (“to blink, twinkle”), Sanskrit मरीचि (marīci, “ray of light”)), from *mer- (“to shimmer, shine”) (compare Greek μέρα (méra, “morning”)), but the phonetic development would be highly irregular and unexplained.
