Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/kripsós

This Proto-Indo-European entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Indo-European

Etymology

From *kreyp- (to turn) +‎ *-os (action noun suffix) +‎ *-ós (possessive adjective suffix).[1] The same root also gave Lithuanian krei̇̃pti (to turn) and Old Norse hreifa (to swing).[2]

De Vaan's reconstruction and decomposition *kris-p-o-, extracting a root *kreys- from which he also derives Latin crīnis,[3] must be rejected due to requiring an unexplainable *-p- extension. Matasović and Kroonen copy and accept De Vaan's derivation.[4][5]
