Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [571] * krau-k- `cry'

Etymology: With κραυγ-ή, which as nomen actionis could point to a primary verb, agree in Germanic and Balto-Slavic several forms. With κραυγός OWNo. hraukr `searaven' could be directly equated (Fick KZ 43, 144; rejected by Falk-Torp Wb. s. raage II). Besides with ablauting ū Goth. hrūk acc. sg. `crowing' and hrūkjan `to crow' (would be Gr. *κρυγέω; [not to κορύγης κῆρυξ. Δωριεῖς H.; s.v. κῆρυξ]; Fick l.c.). Final tenuis is seen in Lith. kraukiù, kraũkti `screech', Slav., e.g. Russ. kruk `raven' (IE * krauk-os). Note further, with palatal final, Skt. króśati = Av. xraosaiti `screem, cry'. - As in comparable κράζω, κρώζω, κραυγή is based on an old soundimitation. Pok. 571, Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. kruk, Feist Vgl. Wb. d. got. Spr. s. hruk, W.-Hofmann s. cornīx.
