Proto-Slavic

Etymology

The root lacks direct Indo-European relatives, so it cannot be reconstructed with full certainty. Nonetheless, both Derksen and Vasmer suppose an origin from the hypothetical proto-Indo-European root *ger- (to bend, to craft), which was enlarged in Slavic into Proto-Indo-European *gr̥bʰos < *gerbʰ- (to carve, to crib).
