Furrina
Furrina (or Furina), was an ancient Roman goddess whose function had become obscure by the time of Varro. Her cult dated to the earliest period of Roman religious history, since she was one of the fifteen deities who had their own flamen, the ''Furrinalis'', one of the ''flamines minores''.〔Varro ''Lingua Latina'' VI 13.〕 There is some evidence that Furrina was associated with water. ==Etymology== According to Georges Dumézil Furrina was a goddess of springs, her name being related to the Indoeuropean root *bhr-u-n, Skr. bhurvan, indicating the moving or bubbling of water, cognate to Gothic ''brunna'' spring, Latin ''fervēre'', from *fruur > furr by metathesis of the vowel, meaning to bubble or boil.〔G. Dumézil ''Fêtes romaines d'eté et d'automne'' Paris, 1975.〕 Compare English "fervent", "effervescent" and Latin ''defruutum,'' boiled wine.
