-bra

• -bula, -bulum
• -brum

From Proto-Italic *ðrā, from Proto-Indo-European *-dʰrom (“instrumental suffix”), or possibly in some cases from Proto-Indo-European *-dʰlom with subsequent dissimilation of l...l to l...r in Italic. Almost always preceded somewhere in the same word by /l/ or /r/; scatebra is an exception to this generalization.

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈbra/, [ˈbrä]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈbra/, [ˈbräː]
