Yiddish edit

Etymology edit

Most likely inherited from Middle High German breglen, of onomatopoeic origin. Compare regional German brägeln (to fry, braise), Brägele (fried potatoes), dialectally also with p-, pf-, f-. Compare also פּוטער (puter) for the word-initial /b/ → /p/ shift. Possibly of Slavic origin - compare Serbo-Croatian pržiti - however this is less likely.

Pronunciation edit

Verb edit

פּרעגלען (preglen) (past participle געפּרעגלט (gepreglt))

  1. fry (to cook (something) in hot fat or oil)
