Reconstruction:Proto-Brythonic/merθɨr

Etymology
Borrowed from. This cannot regularly reflect an underlying, pre-apocope (otherwise **merθr would be expected), so it is likely that the form acquired a Brythonic case ending prior to apocope (compare  >  > ). Cognate with 🇨🇬. The second sense may be an independent borrowing from 🇨🇬.

Noun

 * 1)  martyr
 * 2)  martyrium; burial place of a martyr
