Brūzga

Next to lit. surn. with long ū in the root ¹ we have more examples, sometimes from the same or close places, with short u: Brùzgas, Bruzgelẽvičius, Bruzgẽvičius, Brùzgis, Bruzgỹs, Bruzgùlis (see), cf. Bruzgatis, Bruzgila, Bruzgys ², Latv. Bruzgas village, Bruzguļi village ³. It is the same with common words, cf. brūzgỹnė and brūzgỹnė „ūžlė (toks žaislas)“ (LKŽ I 1100), brūzgēti „šnarėti, brazdėti“ and brūzgēti „tarškėti, brazdėti“ (ibid.), brūzgī „išbėrimas, smulkūs spuogai; niežas“ and brūzgī „nusproginėjimas, suplyšimas“ (ibid.), etc. i.e. Etymologically, these etc. appellatives are related ⁴. So surnames with bruzg- and bruzg- are apparently etymologically inseparable, but with which lit. in general terms they are connected, now it is not entirely clear. It is possible that not all of these surn. have exactly the same semantics. In addition to the above-mentioned appellatives, cf. lit. scratch „vikrus, miklus, greitas“ (LKŽ I 1103), scratch „suveltų vilnų gumulas“ (LKŽ I 1101), scratch „greitakalbis“ (ibid), scratch „pagalys, šakalys; velkė and others“ (ibid).
