Kri  — greppia,  crupia (the latter connected with the  forms in u mentioned above),  crèche (whence  cratch, ‘a grated crib,’  crache).  ,, ‘to find fault, carp,’ simply from a popular term, , ‘to wrangle’ (wanting in  and ), with an allusion to , &c. ,, ‘to scribble,’ of  kritzen, ‘to scrawl,’  chrizzôn, ‘to scratch or cut into.’ It is probably connected with ,  chrazzôn, as well as with  krota, ‘to engrave, stamp.’ If this is not approved, it may be allied to  (root krī̆t); kritjôn (whence chrizzôn) would then mean ‘to draw lines.’  ,, ‘curl’ , from the  krolle, krol(-les), ;   krul, , ‘curl.’  krol, ,  krullig,  crul, , ‘curly’;  krullen,  crullen, ‘to frizzle.’ For the connection between  krolle,  ( *krŭzlô), and  ,  krûs, see under.   ,, ‘crown,’ from the  krône, krôn; in  corôna (with the foreign accent preserved), from  cŏrôna (the unaccented ŏ disappeared in );   corûne, croune,  crown; in  the double form crône, krûne, existed,  kroon, kruin. krúna,. In the term cyne-helm,  ‘king's helmet,’ was substituted for  corona of the Biblical texts (just as sceptrum was rendered by cynegerd,  ‘king's staff’); in  and  hôƀidband, houbitbant, ‘crown.’ These words show that the Teutons had their own distinctive terms for the royal insignia. With the name they also borrowed a new idea —   , ‘to crown,’ from krœnen and a denominative from ; thus it is not  coronare, to which  chrônôn more accurately corresponds.   ',, from the  and  kropf, , ‘goitre, crop, craw’; corresponding to  krop, , ‘crop, bosom, bow of a ship,’  crop (of birds, top, harvest),  cropp, which has the special meanings ‘crop, summit, top (of trees), ear (of corn, cluster of grapes’;  kroppr, ‘trunk, body’ (also ‘hump’), is still more remarkable. To these numerous senses, a primary meaning, ‘a round mass in the shape of a ball, a projecting spherical body,’ has been assigned; with this the  loan-words such as  groupe, ‘group,  cluster, knot,’ coincide.  *kruppa- might be related to  γρῦπός, ‘curved,’ if ‘crop, excrescence,’ represented the  meaning of the group.   ', , ‘rogues,’ a  word, formed from  krôp , ‘crawling creature, small cattle,’ but this is not quite certain. Others connect it with the preceding word , which also signifies in  and  ‘small, crippled creature, little man.’   ,, from the  krote, kröte, krëte,  (even now  , ),  chrota, chrëta, , ‘toad.’ The forms with ë and o are related by gradation;   and. The word is peculiar to ; in padda,  padde,  tâdie,  toad. Etymologically all three are equally obscure.   ,, ‘crutch,’ from the  krücke, krucke,  chruccha (for *krukjô), ;   kruk,  cryčč,   crutch. Certainly a genuine word (‘staff with a curved handle’); it is most closely connected with  krókr, ‘hook, curve’; it may also be related to. In the period it was confused with a  term based upon  crucea, and meaning ‘crosier.’ On the other hand, the  word was submerged in many of the  languages in the old inherited term;  croccia, ‘crutch,’ crocco, ‘hook,’  crosse, ‘crook,’ croc, ‘hook’;  croca, ‘baculus episcopalis,’ crocea, ‘baculus pastoralis’ and ‘baculus incurvus,’ croceus, croccia, crucia, crucca, ‘crutch,’  can scarcely be explained from  crucea, ‘cross-bar’ (of a window), because this must have become chruzza (ce changed to tz);. <section end="Krücke" /> <section begin="Krug" />  (1.),, ‘jug, pitcher,’ from the  kruoc (g),  chruog, m,; corresponding to  crôg, crôh, ‘pitcher,’ also ‘bottle.’ Besides these terms, based upon a common form krôga-, there are several words allied in sound and meaning;   krûka,  kruik, ,  crûce,  crouke;  krûche, ,. crocca (and crohh), crokke, ‘pitcher,’  krukka, ‘pot.’ Since it is not improbable that all these terms were borrowed, we may perhaps connect them further with. Their source, however, cannot be assigned, since the corresponding words in the allied languages may also have been borrowed, and are insufficient phonetically to account<section end="Krug" />
