Proto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Cognate with Lithuanian krešė́ti (to clot, to dry and harden), perhaps from a Proto-Indo-European *kreḱ- (to strike, beat), and cognate with Ancient Greek κρέκω (krékō, to weave; to strike a stringed instrument with a plectrum), κρόκη (krókē, thread, woof),[1] Proto-Germanic *hrahilaz (reed of a loom) (whence English reel), and *hragilą (garment).[2]

Yakulis alternatively derives the Baltic and Slavic terms from an extension of Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (to turn, bend).[3]
