Etymology

Etymology unclear. The linking particle suggests common development with the names for weekdays, compare e premte (“Friday”). It could be a suffixed form of krye (“head; beginning”) or, according to Topalli, inherited from Proto-Indo-European *kerm- (“to sleep, to rest”); compare Old High German hirmen (“to rest, to pause”) and Lithuanian kirmiti (“to sleep”).
