A number of Indo-European words begin with [br/pr] to denote break, cut (wound), shave. We have (break, brittle, bruise…) in English. In German (brechen, Prellung..). Kurdish bryn   برین can either mean (cut) as a verb or (a wound) as a noun. Kurdish Barbarبه ربه ر  hairdresser is cognate with English barber and German Barbier.

Avestan (-pari/bri) shave, Middle Persian bryn. [Br] might also be pronounced [bur].
