Origin: IE [Indo-European] [509] * ser- `flow, stream'

Etymology: Since Pott a.o. (s. Curtius 347), prob. correctly, compared with Skt. sárma- m. `flowing, streaming' (only RV 1, 80, 5; IE *sór-mo-: *sor-mā́), from a verb Skt. sí-sar-ti, sár-ati `flow, stream', also `hurry, drive etc.', which is formally excellent (cf. Porzig 283 f.), semantically quite possible. Inside Greek one might also compare ὄρνυμι `arouse' (Sommer Lautst. 133 w. n.1; cf. Chantraine Form. 149 f.); on the asper s. ἅρμα. -- Difficult to judge is ἑρμή ἔξοδος H. with the variant ἐρίμη `id.'; premature comclusions in Specht Ursprung 164 after Fick KZ 43, 132.
