Reflexes of iterative *bHréh1g^-sk^e/o- 'to dawn' and the corresponding
deverbal noun, such as Lith. bré.ks^ti (bré.ks^ta, bré.s^kau) 'to dawn'.
Pol. brzask, Russ. brezg 'daybreak'(< *bre^skU ~ *bre^zgU), cf. Skt.
bHrá:jate, aor. ábHra:t. 'shine'.

================
I suppose Lithuanian <é.> is [e:].
How do you explain ?
Lithuanian bré:ks^
Russian brezg
ks^ and zg are definitely not the same thing to me.
And my next point is
to be bright and to dawn are only vaguely related.
This is not a compelling comparison.
(Cf. Procust etc ...)
