(proposal) rom. brad -> PIE *bhreg^-2 (Pok. pg.166)

Hello,
I propose :

PIE Dacian Romanian
PIE *bhreg^-2 ->*bhreg'->(e:->a;g'->3)*bra3 ->(-3.->-d.;3-->z-) brad
(pl. brazi)

bhreg^-2 has as an aprox. meaning : 'to stand up very rigid' that
fit well in my opinion the idea of 'brad' ('fir-tree')

Notes:
1. This means also that in romanian : -3. ('-dz') -> -d.('d')
(at the end of the words) as an exception to the main rule :
3- ('dz-') -> z- ('z')

2. There is also another rule in Romanian (or already in Dacian?):
3 ('dz') -> 3^ ('gi') -> that is not applicable here

3. Example for the (used) Dacian Rules :
g' -> 3 ( ex: dac. 3ermisara - in 'Germisara'/'Zermisara'
e: -> a ( ex: dac. -dava )

4. The derivation fit also albanian word : 'bredh'

PIE Dacian Albanian
PIE *bhreg^-2 ->*bhreg'->(e:->a;g'->3)*bra3 ->(3 'dz' ->D 'dh') bredh

4.a I cannot explained the last 'e' (of 'bredh') in Albanian from
a previous 'a' (of bra3). Any help, with other examples here?

4.b. I am not fully convince that Albanian derives from Dacian,
but I will check this assumption until the first contradiction will
appear.

5. I attached here, for further checks, Pokorny root lemma
bhreg^-2 (see below).


Best Regards,
