Since irregular dissimilation or metathesis could be involved, I
can't say for certain what the rules and their order were in both (or
more?) languages. Other possibilities:
bhruutrom
bhruutom
bruutom
bruuton (Thrac.)
buurton
buruton (Scy.)
(if met. in Greek as the folk et. formed)
bhruutrom
bhuutrom
buutrom
buturon (Scy.)
(if not so dir. related)
