Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Formation in -ρᾱ (like χώρᾱ, τέφρᾱ), but without cognate. Prellwitz connected OCS iskra `spark' (with ἑστία, Solmsen Unt. 218), what Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. v. rejects. Other unconvincing attempts in Bq, in W.-Hofmann s. cartibulum and in Deroy Revue Belge de phil. 26, 529ff. - Furnée 376 points out that σχάρα (Gloss.) may have lost the first vowel secondarily. As there is no cognate and as an IE protoform can hardly be posited, the word will be Pre-Greek.
