Brod

• Bruad (Itzgründisch)

From Middle High German and Old High German brōt, from Proto-West Germanic *braud.

Brod

See the main entry. The -d may be from Low German and West Central German influence, but may also be a mainly graphic development due to the relatively rare occurrence of inflected forms (interchangeable Brot ~ Brodt ~ Brod and then by analogy also Brodes etc.).
