[edit]Etymology
[edit]Disputed:
- Berneker, Bezzenberger, Kroonen: Of etymological origin, akin to Proto-Slavic *kręčь, *kręky (“plank, rod”) and *kręgъ, *kręžь (“ridge, hump”); possibly further related to Lithuanian kurkulai̇̃ pl (“frog spawn”), Latvian kurkul̨i pl (“frog spawn”), Proto-Germanic *hrugnaz (“roe”). Perhaps from a nasal extension of Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker-, *(s)kreh₁- (“to perturb, to pound, to swing”). For the semantic shift, compare analogous Latin plangō (“to strike”) → Latin plāga (“stroke; plague”), possibly planta (“plant”).
- Machek, Trubačev: Of onomatopoeic origin, akin to Proto-Slavic *krekъ, *krěkъ, *krakъ (“squawk, quack”).
ESSJa formally distinguishes between meanings “spawn” (under *krękъ I) and “sprout” (under *krękъ II).
