Brisk families may somehow be related to Segobri people in Liguria and elsewhere in Europe , and to their African counterparts called Seggawa-Berri ,who may be descended from A-Shek-Ga-ya-Ba son of Ak-Ha-Cher-Aya-Na ,after whom Thrinakia might have been named,this is now Sikelia , or any island that has a form of a triangle .
Segobris were the people that was living around Nikaia when Phokaians founded it ,must have been involved in its impopulation ,and later might have accompanied Alexander of Makedonia on his campaign to India to found the town of Nikaia there . Successors of the latter settlement could be Brugashki people considered ,whose name could also be derived from Ber-U-Ga-Shek-i ,and who are the closest relatives of Gascons in the Province , where once Segobri were located .
So,Brisk surname could also be interpreted from Ber-i-Sek ,a somewhat shortened form of the aforesaid , and might have been taken on by people of Kozaria who had something to do with that party of the army of Alexander ,the general ancestor of Idumaian peoples ,sons of Koze .
