bring: [OE] Bring is an ancient verb, which has come down to us, with great semantic stability, from its Indo-European source *bhrengk-. It is widespread in the Germanic languages, apart from the Scandinavian ones (German has bringen, Dutch brengen), but outside Germanic it seems to have flourished only in the Celtic languages (Welsh has hebrwng ‘accompany’).
