The word for bread in various languages.
Proto-Germanic seems to have had two words for bread, one becoming the present Germanic blue words, the other borrowed into Uralic and Slavic languages and becoming the yellow ones.
One theory is that *braudą was the word for bread with yeast. It is related to the verb "to brew [beer]".
The yellow word survives in English "loaf" and Norwegian "leiv" (piece of bread) and "loff".
