Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *gʷerh₃- (“to devour”) + *-anь (with hard vocalism *gъr- as in *gъrdlo). Cognate with Lithuanian gerklė̃ (“larynx”), gurklỹs (“crop, neck”), Old Prussian gurcle (“throat”).
Doublet forms such as Middle Russian грыта́нь (grytánʹ), which reflect alternative *grъtanь, probably originate under the influence of Proto-Slavic *glъtati (“to swallow”).
Alternative forms
- *gъrtanъ m
- *gъrtľanъ, *gъrkľanъ m (South Slavic, explained as a fusion between *gъrtanь + *gъrdlo via *-tl- > *-kl-)
