Verb
brenge (third-person singular present brengk or brengt, past tense brat or braach or braacht, past participle jebrat or jebraach or gebraacht)
- (most dialects) to bring; to take something somewhere

Usage notes
- The forms brengk; brat, braach; jebrat, jebraach are Ripuarian, while brengt; braacht; gebraacht are Moselle Franconian. In both groups, the past participle may also occur without the prefix, thus being the same as the past tense.
- The 2nd and 3rd persons singular of the present, chiefly in Ripuarian, may exhibit a vowel change /ɛ/ → /e/, which is not reflected in spelling.
