    bear- to hold up and support. Carry weight

    berth- Original sense is preserved in phrase to give (something or someone) wide berth. Meaning "place on a ship to stow chests, room for sailors" is from 1706. So the ship would carry chests but would leave enough space for the sailors to move around freely.

    borne- "He hath borne me on his back a thousand times." "The wheatfields have borne abundantly this year. Judges have always borne a burden of responsibility."

    Carry weight, responsibility, sustain, uphold.

    burden- "Every man shall bear his own burden." Something that is carried; load. Something that is exacting, oppressive, or difficult to bear: the burden of responsibility.
