birth
[[English]]
ipa :/bɜː(ɹ)θ/[Adjective]
birth (not comparable)
1.A familial relationship established by childbirth.

[Etymology]
(Can we verify this etymology?) From Old Norse burðr[1] (rare variant byrð), which replaced Old English gebyrd (rare variant byrþ)[2] in Middle English. The Old Norse word derived from the Proto-Germanic *burþiz, *burdiz; another descendant of this root is the Old Frisian berde, berd. The Old English word derived from Proto-Germanic *gaburdiz; another descendant of this root is the Old High German giburt (Middle High German geburt, modern German Geburt). All of these words derive from Proto-Indo-European *bʰer-.
