The second element is cognate with Old Irish <mruig> (Middle Ir.
<bruig>, <brug>) 'a piece of inhabited or cultivated land (gen. of some
considerable extent), a countryside, a march' from *mrogi-, whence also
Welsh <bro> 'district', Gaulish <broga> 'border', later 'territory';
cognate with OE <mearc>, OHG <marcha> 'march, borderland', Lat. <margo:>
'edge', Avest. <mar@za-> 'borderland', NPer. <marz> 'borderland,
district'.  The prefix is of course cognate with OIr <com->, Lat. <cum>
'with'.
