Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Like the in a certain sense related χρί̄ω `rub (in)' πρί̄ω firt in a regularly built system. Like Lat. trī-vī, trī-tum, τρί̄-βω `rub (down)' stands beside terō, τείρω `rub (open)' and scī-vī, scī-tum `decide' beside secō `cut', πρί̄ω belongs to πείρω `pierce' (cf. Persson Beitr. 2, 738). Further analysis is impossible; the comparison with Alb. prish `spoil, break, destroy' (G. Meyer Alb. Wb. 353) remains quite uncertain. Strong dobts regarding the here given interpretation in WP. 2, 89, where for πρίω rather onomatop. origin is assumed. -- The ω-forms ared prob. due to cross: after τετρωμένος, ἄτρωτος, τρώω, τρῶμα?
