burga

Debated. Documented as burgana in Medieval Latin local documents. Either from Vulgar Latin, or from a pre-Roman substrate of Iberia, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrewh₁- (“to boil”).
Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
burga f (plural burgas)
Usage notes edit
Whilst toponomy shows that once this word was in use in most of Galicia, today it is mostly reduced to name the hot springs of the city of Ourense.
