brang:

That the word brang in the following compound means “domicile, dwelling, night-quarters, abode, halting-place” (gnas) has been made clear by Jäschke and dGe-chos:

1. pho brang “castle,” “palace” (Jäschke 1881: s.v.)

2. bla brang “bla ma’s residence complex”

3. gzims brang (Jäschke 1881: s.v. brang)

4. mchis ’brang (Jäschke 1881: s.v.)
5. dkon cog pho brang = gtsug lag khang (brDa rnying, s.v.)

See the dGe chos gsung ’bum (vol. 5, p. 73). Note that in rDzong-kha the halting-place for cows/cattle or or cow/cattle-herds is also called nor byang sa (from nor brang sa) and the same in Tshangs-lha is called wa [= ba] brang sa.
