Proto-Slavic edit

Etymology edit

Per Brückner and Sławski (accepted by Trubačev /ESSJa/), a doublet of *krupъ. Derksen distinguishes the two lemmas, but accepts that they have intermingled at later time.

Further origin probably from the root of Proto-Balto-Slavic *krúptei (to contract, to crumple?), whence Lithuanian krùpti (to get scabby), Latvian krupt (to frawn), with inchoatic nasal infix. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *krewp-, an extension of *(s)ker- (to bend, to crook). Akin to Proto-Germanic *hreubaz (rough, scabby).

Adjective edit

  1. little, short (of size)
  2. concise, compact (of distribution, span)
  3. robust, stocky, firm (of stature)
