The characteristic Ladin type brama 'cream' differs from the type bruma only in the tonal vowel [a]. It obviously developed under the influence of crama. However, since the Dolomite-Ladin area does not seem to have been inhabited by Celts (the Dolomite region was inhabited by the Venetians in prehistoric or early historic times, or at least was very much under their cultural influence. Corresponding archaeological finds were made in Cadore [see. F.V. and Winkle, Christian, "Veneti", in: Brill's New Pauly, Antiquity volumes edited by: Hubert Cancik and , Helmuth Schneider, English Edition by: Christine F. Salazar, Classical Tradition volumes edited by: Manfred Landfester, English Edition by: Francis G. Gentry. Consulted online on 09 November 2018 (Link). First published online: 2006; First print edition: 9789004122598]. Archaeological evidence suggesting the presence of Celts in this region seems to be lacking so far.), the originally Celtic crama is not to be regarded as a substrate word. Rather, the merging of the two types can be explained by the fact that cel., or then roa. crama has advanced from the west to the central Ladin area and mixed there with the originally widespread Latin type bruma, which finally gave rise to the Ladin word forms of the type brama (cf. the map on brama). This must have happened before the Germanisation of the Eisack and Etsch valleys (cf. EWD I: 337-338).
