I find also close related Rom. <zbura> 'to blow out' and Alb.
<buritet> 'to roar, llow, bellow' a synonym of <bërlyket> 'id.' and
<bërlivet> 'to get crazy'. German form <brüllen> looks to preserves
much oldest form, because in Albanian it underwent the metathesis of
liquids ll - u > u (ë) - ll and regular change of intevocalic /ll/ >
Alb. /l/.
Problem is which is the common etymon and the root of these
intransitive verbs as in German, as well as in Albanian and Romanian.
