blèren
Dutch
editEtymology
editFrom Middle Dutch bleren, from Old Dutch *blerien, from Proto-Germanic *blarjaną, probably ultimately onomatopoeic. Cognate with German plärren. The Dutch vowel phoneme /ɛː/ is normally restricted to French borrowings and interjections. It must be due here to the onomatopoeic character of the word or, less probably, to dialectal influence.
