κρέξ
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editAccording to Beekes, perhaps from a Proto-Indo-European root (of possible onomatopoeic origin) common to Sanskrit कृकर (kṛkara, “a kind of partridge”), Russian кре́чет (kréčet, “gyrfalcon”), Old Prussian kerko (“diver, loon”), and Irish cearc (“hen”). The word has also been compared with κερκάς (kerkás, “crake”), κερκιθαλίς (kerkithalís, “stork”) and κέρκνος (kérknos, “hawk or cock”).[1]
