Thanks for the suggestion; but it then becomes trimorphemic b+ris+c
[(m)bi'risitSi] (the initial prenasalization is still not decided - nor the
pronunciation of /r/) - and the affixes may have grammatical functions.
I think I really must give it some substantial vocabulary & form a
meaningful name from that.
