*rebh- `to roof'. Oldest form seems to be *H3rebh-. 1. Alb.
<brinjë> `rib, hillside' from suffixed zero-grade form *H3r.bh-n-yeH2:
Old English ribb `rib': Old Norse rif `rib, ridge': Middle Low German
ribbe `id.', all from Germanic *rebja-, *rebjo:, `covering of chest
cavity': Slavic rebro `id.'. 2. <bravë> `fastening, lock' possible
from suffixed o-grade form *H3robh-eH2. 3. <bravare> `sheep under the
of a village herdsman', an suffixal derivative of <brave>. (Pokorny 2.
rebh- 853.)

Any help?
