Though this may be correct, I prefer to leave it an open question whether these words may be identified. In my opinion, this is tantamount to leaving the question whether PSl. *borti, Lat. ferīre and OIc. berja are cognate with Gk. φαρόωσι, Lat. forāre and OIc. bora unanswered.Other cognates:Notes:II. borna II Grammatical information: f. āPage in Trubačev: II 204-206Old Russian:Ukrainian:boróna `defence' [f ā]Czech:brána `entrance, gate, defences' [f ā]Old Czech:brána `fortification, gate' [f]Slovak:brána `gate, guarded entrance' [f ā]Polish:Serbo-Croatian:brána `dam, weir, barrier, defender, defence' [f ā]Slovene:brána `protection, defence' [f ā]Bulgarian:braná (dial.) `dam, weir' [f ā]Macedonian:Indo-European reconstruction: bʰorH-neh₂Page in Pokorny: 133Comments: See borna I.
