[edit]Inherited from Old East Slavic короваи (korovai), from Proto-Slavic *korvajь. Cognate with Ukrainian корова́й (korováj), Bulgarian крава́й (kraváj), Serbo-Croatian кра̀ва̄ј (“type of cake fed to the bride and groom”) (genitive крава́ја), Slovene kravȃj, krávaj. Per Vasmer, probably related to коро́ва (koróva, “cow, also dialectally bride”); originally thought to have been a wedding gift that was intended to induce fertility.
