BRAVURA G'BHOORaH Gimel-Bhet-Vav-Resh-Hey Give-OOR-ah___גבורה__[G-BH-R --> BR + BH-R] ROOTS: There is no Indo-European (IE) “root” or home for the BRAVE.
BRAVE is 1) courageous, or 2) a warrior
(especially a Native American). BRAVURA is the display of exceptional skill and daring by a performer. One might exclaim BRAVO!
Spanish bravo is guessed to come from the Middle Latin bravus, (cutthroat villain). The assumption of Western scholars is that valorous strength must emanate from bloodthirsty barbarity, rather than the upright conviction of defending one's ideals or home.
גבורה G'BHOORaH means power, strength, might (Exodus 32:18); in Aramaic and later Hebrew it means valor and heroism. גבור GiBoaR is a mighty one (Genesis10:9), גבר GeBHeR is a man or mighty man (see “BARON” and “VIRILE”).
As in BARON and VIRILE, the initial ג Gimel/G of GVR was lost. In BRAVURA the dominant ב-ר B-R core is reduplicated. BRANCHES: The ג Gimel/G of GVR should have appeared somewhere, despite the mist of millennia since the species-wide neuro-linguistic disturbance one may call The Tower of Babel.
That ג Gimel/G may be at the end of the word BRAG, which is of " unknown origin." Yes, BRAGGING is a fool's BRAVERY, but on the street they are often confused. There are more missing or shifted Gimels/Gs in the sample B R A V E world words below:

When Moses tells Joshua to be "strong, חזק K[H]aZaK, and of good courage, אמץ AMaTS, " in Deuteronomy 31:7, the Armenians were listening. Their word for "brave" is խիզախ khizakh. Even better, the Georgian "brave" is მამაცი mamats’i. The Samoan "brave" is matatoa.
For gevaltic (wonderful in Yiddish) forms of גבורה G'BHOORaH, see "CRAFT." For the manlier derivatives, see "VIRILE," and for the forceful forms of גבורה G'BHOORaH, see "FORCE,” “GRAVITY” and "VIGOR." ………………………………………………. Twitter was overtweeted, so I bravely pasted this here: The loyal, brave, emotional dog or כלב KeLeBH is לב כל KoL LaiBH (all heart), as was Biblical CALEB. In rap slang, one’s "dogg" or "dog" is one’s loyal friend and constant companion. (A Shout-out to Snoop Doggy Dogg.)
