Etymology edit

Etymology unclear.[1] The linking particle suggests common development with the names for weekdays, compare e premte (“Friday”). It could be a suffixed form of krye (“head; beginning”)[2] or, according to Topalli, inherited from Proto-Indo-European *kerm- (“to sleep, to rest”); compare Old High German hirmen (“to rest, to pause”) and Lithuanian kirmiti (“to sleep”).[3]
