From Late Middle English Category:English terms inherited from Middle English#BURN Category:English terms derived from Middle English#BURN burne , birne , which arose via the metathesis of brinne , brynne , a variant of brennen . The East Midland forms were heavily influenced by Old Norse Category:English terms borrowed from Old Norse#BURN Category:English terms derived from Old Norse#BURN brinna , brenna ( “ to burn ” ) , from Proto-Germanic Category:English terms derived from Proto-Germanic#BURN * brinnaną ( “ to burn ” ) , from Proto-Indo-European Category:English terms derived from Proto-Indo-European#BURN * bʰrenw- , present stem from * bʰrewh₁- . Doublet of brew Category:English doublets#BURN .
The late metathesis of East Midland brin- to birn- (and subsequently burn- ) parallels the phonological development of bird and dirt from brid and drit . As this metathesized form became the Chancery Standard, it completely displaced the semantic functions and weak conjugation paradigm of the native Old English bærnan (weak), alongside the surviving remnants of byrnan (strong).
