Old Norse
Etymology 1
From Proto-Germanic *skrahō (“dry animal skin”), of uncertain origin, though possibly a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to shrink, dry, wrinkle, bend”).[1][2] (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Pokorny reference doesn't point to correct section - this should be fixed.”) Related to dialectal Norwegian skråen (“half-dried, withered, hard”), Middle Low German schra (“dry, lean”), Proto-Finnic *raha (“squirrel pelt; money”).[1] Note in particular similarities to Proto-Germanic *skrinkwaną (“to shrink”).
