√BRṬM 
vb., I 
to rave, talk irrationally – WehrCowan1979. 
▪ … 
1887 For barṭam‑, Wahrmund gives, apart from ‘stottern’ a number of values now obsolete: †‘vor Zorn anschwellen; finster blicken; (trans.) zum Zorn reizen; sehr dunkel sein (Nacht)’. Cf. also II †tabarṭam‑ ‘zornig werden über eine Rede’, †barṭam ‘Stotterer’, and †barṭamaẗ ‘Anschwellen vor Zorn’. †barṭamaẗ is also a variant of †barṭanaẗ ‘e. Spiel’ – Wahrmund1887. 
No cognates given in DRS. 
▪ Does burṭūm‑ (see DERIV below) really belong to barṭam‑ ? DRS‑ lists the two as one item – as is done in this entry too.
▪ Unrelated to EgAr ↗barṭamān, var. baṭramān‑ ‘glass jar’ (which is a metathetic variant of ↗marṭabān).
