'broed' I guess stands for [bru:t] (or [brut]) at least in Dutch
spelling, being the same as Standard Dutch 'bruid' meaning 'bride',
occuring in all Germanic languages I think. </span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
'lachte' should rather be 'lochte' I would say, but anyway through -ft-
> -cht- as in German Luft, Dutch lucht, German stiften, Dutch
stichten it derrives from 'lofte'/(lafte?) a derrivative from the verb
'lopen' to run/to walk. </span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
The compound of 'bride' + 'lopen' occurs also in many Germanic
languages, Standard Dutch 'bruiloft' having lost the -d- of 'bruid' but
lacking the change -ft- > -cht-. Norwegian 'bryllaup'; Danish
'bryllup'; Swedish 'bröllop' altho the Scandinavian ones might be
loaned from a Low German dialect, but in that case very early as Old
Norse already has brúðhlaup, bruðlaup, brullaup. </span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
