крагуй
Bulgarian
Крагуй
Etymology
From Proto-Slavic *korgujь, *korguľь, cognate with Serbo-Croatian кра̀гӯј, крагу́јац, Slovene kragúlj, dialectal Ukrainian крагу́й (krahúj), кря́гулець (krjáhulecʹ), крогуле́ць (krohulécʹ) (probably borrowed from Polish), Polish krogulec, Czech krahujec, Slovak krahulec. Either onomatopoeic or of Oghur origin (itself possibly borrowed from an Iranian source). In the later case, probably akin to Hungarian karvaly (“sparrowhawk”), Chuvash хӗрхи (hĕrh̬i, “falcon”), Kyrgyz кыргый (kırgıy, “sparrowhawk”), and more distantly to Persian کرکس (kargas, “vulture”).
