Lithuanian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Indo-European *kʷr̥- (“to do, make, build”), probably via an extension *kʷr̥H- in order to account for the acute tone in the Baltic forms.[1][2] Cognates include Latvian kur̃t (“to light, kindle”)[2] and Sanskrit कृणोति (kṛṇóti, “to injure, do,[2] make[2]”).
The appurtenance of the "kindle, light" meanings to the root *kʷr̥- is uncertain. It is traditionally accepted and explained as originating from expressions such as ùgnį kùrti (“to light a fire”); however, it could very well come from a different root, usually reconstructed as Proto-Indo-European *kerh₃- (“heat, fire; to burn”).[1] In this case, compare Lithuanian kárštas (“hot”),[3] Russian кури́ть (kurítʹ, “to smoke”),[2] Latin carbō m (“charcoal”),[2] and Old Norse hyrr m (“fire”).[2]
