Kri ,, ‘to crawl, tickle,’ only, kribeln , ‘to tickle’; a recent formation;   kribeln, ‘to itch, prick,’ kribbelen, ‘to grumble, wrangle.’  ', ',, , an onomatopoetic term for ‘utter confusion’;  kribbelen, ‘to scrawl’?.   ,, ‘early sloe,’ from the , , ‘early sloe-tree,’  chriehboum;   kriek, , ‘wild cherry.’ Phonetically it might be derived from  Chriah,  Kriech, ‘a Greek,’ if *grœca could be found in  denoting the tree and the fruit. The word must hare been introduced from Italy, on account of the term, for it is inconceivable that the Germans, of their own accord, and without foreign precedent, should lave termed the fruit ‘Greek’ because it was imported, as we assume for the moment, from Greece. At all events, the name has not yet been explained ( further the loan-word crèque).  ,, ‘to crawl,’ from the  kriechen,  chriohhan,  ; corresponding to  kriupan,  kruipen,  creópan,  to creep,  krjúpa. The relation of the form with ch from k to the remaining  languages with p has well-authenticated analogies; see  (1),, and. The guttural appears again in crûchen,  to crouch. , ‘to crawl,’ is the  krûfen.  , see.   ,, ‘war,’ from kriec(g), , ‘exertion, endeavour to obtain something,’ then also ‘opposition, resistance, argument, discord, combat.’ The predominant meaning in  is the latest and ‘counter-effort' the earliest;   einkriege, , ‘self-willed.’ For a similar evolution of meaning   flîȥ, ‘exertion, zeal, quarrel'; see. The word is almost entirely unknown to ; it occurs once as chrêg, ‘pertinacia,’ with which widarkrêgi, ‘controversia', widarkriegelîn, ‘obstinatus’ (with obscure ê, ia, ie), are connected. This word, obscure in origin, is shared only by (krijg) with ; in all the other  languages it is wanting,  and  krig being borrowed from. the following word.  ,, ‘to get,’ from krie - gen (in  krîgen is , so too the corresponding  in  and ), ‘to exert oneself, strive, aim at, oppose, struggle,’ then also ‘to defend, maintain an opinion,’  also ‘to obtain, receive’; the latter meaning is  and  (krijgen, ‘to obtain, receive’). With regard to the numerous meanings  winnan, ‘to exert oneself, struggle,’ giwinnan, ‘to win.’ Hence the various senses of the  are the outcome of a  meaning ‘to make an effort against,’ just as in the case of the noun, on which it is based.  ,, ‘teal,’ a form for  ; wanting in  and ; it is based on  anas crecca, hence also  kräcka. sarcelle, ‘teal,’ like cerceta, is traced to  anas querquedula; thus it has no etymological connection with ; the same may be said of  crake, corncrake.   ,, ‘circular pad for the head,’ from krinc(g), , ‘circle, ring, district,’ with the  variant kranc(g);  has a variant krink with final k, since in the whole of the corresponding class k and g at the end of the stem interchange. kring, kringum,, ‘round about,’ kringja, ‘to encircle,’ kringlóttr, , ‘round.’ — crank,  cranke;  to crankle, ‘to run in a winding course,’ crinkle, ‘wrinkle, bend.’   and its cognates differ etymologically from. In the allied Aryan languages some connect gręziù, grężti, ‘to twist, turn,’ with the Aryan root grengh, authenticated by. βρόχος, ‘noose, cord,’ is scarcely akin.   ', ',, ‘cracknel,’ of , or rather ; used even in  as a term in pastry.   ,, ‘crib,’ from the  krippe,  chrippa, , for chrippja ( *kribjô; for  pp. from  bj,  further , , and ); corresponding to  kribbia, kribba,  cribb,  crib. In occurs a variant with pf, which is phonetically obscure,  chripfa,  and  kripfe; there are also  forms with u in the stem, Swiss krüpfli,  krübbe,  crybb,  krubba, ‘crib.’ This word, in  uzêta, ‘the thing from which one feeds,’ is connected with  krëbe, ‘basket’; hence ‘resembling a basket, woven,’ was perhaps the  meaning of.
