Subject: Etymology
I wrote about Russian _brjuki_ 'trousers':
> This group of words (including Old Norse _brók_) is supposed to go back

> Icelandic _brók_ [broUk] 'underpants').
And then there is, of course, the third possibility of _brjuki_ going
all the way back to notable but until recently understated Swedish,
i.e., Eastern Viking, "Russ" (cf. Finnish _ruotsalainen_ 'Swedish'),
presence and influences in parts of Russia.
