An archaic or dialect word meaning to rage, roar, or make a loud noise (especially of animals).
From Old English 'breman' or Middle Low German 'bramen', related to 'bream' (to roar). The word reflects onomatopoeia, mimicking loud animal sounds like those of deer during rutting season.
Medieval hunters used 'brame' to describe the roaring calls of stags in rut—understanding an animal's brame (sound and behavior) was crucial to hunting successfully in ancient forests.
