Kru for the numerous terms. Some etymologists derive then from words such as  crwc, ‘pail,’ from which  cruche, ‘pitcher,’ may be derived, if it is not of  origin. The term for ‘pitcher’ is aúrkeis (borrowed from  urceus). (2).

 (2.),, ‘alehouse,’  kroeg; it passed into  and  from , where it is recorded since the 13th. The quondam assumption that the word is identical with (1), “because formerly an actual or a carved pitcher was hung in front of a tavern,” is demolished by the fact that, ‘urceus,’ is entirely unknown to  (and ); the  term krûka was used. On the other hand,, ‘alehouse,’ was wanting in , in which , ‘pitcher,’ was current at the earliest period.   , see (1).   ,, ‘crumb,’ a loan-word, wanting in ;   krûme,  kruim,  crûme,  crumb, crum. The root krū̆ appears also in, chrouwôn, ‘to scratch, operate with the nails.’ Allied to  γρῦμέα, ‘rubbish’ (Aryan root grū̆)?.  ,, ‘crooked,’ from krump(b),  chrumb, ‘crooked, curved, twisted, perverted’ ; rare variants  and  krumpf,  chrampf, as well as  krimpf, in the same sense. crumb, crumb;  crump, ‘crooked,’ is abnormal (with this  to crumple,  crumpeln, and also  crimple, ‘wrinkle, fold,’ are connected). Under it is shown how the graded and permutated forms are widely ramified; the  root signified ‘spasmodically contracted, curved.’ Besides the cognates of West  krumba-, from pre- grumpó-, quoted under,  the unnasalised  γρῦπός, ‘curved, bent’?. cromm, crwm, seem to have been borrowed from.  ,, ‘crupper,’ only, borrowed from  croupe, whence  croup. The word has been derived from  kryppa,, ‘hump, excrescence’ (allied to kroppr, ‘hump’). See the following word.   ,, ‘cripple,’ from the  krüppel, krüpel, ; it passed in the  period from  into ;  kreupel,  cripple,  and  cryppel,  kryppell, kryplingr. The p of these forms is pf,  hence we must assume that   was borrowed from  and. Allied in the  to Swiss chrüft, chrüpfe,  kropf, kruft, krüftle,  krapf, kropf, ‘deformed person,’ and the cognate  krüpfen, ‘to become crooked,’ akin to  kroppr, kryppa, ‘hump,’ and the cognates discussed under. Besides γρυπός, ‘curved,’ we may also refer to  grŭbŭ, ‘back,’ ModSlov. grbanec, ‘wrinkle,’ grba, ‘hump’ (grbati se, ‘to stoop’).   ,, ‘crust,’ from the rare kruste,  crusta, , ‘crust’; a learned term which has been first naturalised in. Derived from crusta, whence also  korst,  crust, as well as  words like  croûte.   ,, from the  kristál, kristálle,   krystálla, , ‘crystal.’ The retention of the  accent (crystállus,  and ) preserved the foreign aspect of this merely learned term, which was borrowed at a very early period.   ,, ‘tub, bucket,’ from the  kübel,  *chubil, ;   miluh-chubilî, -chubilîn, , ‘milk-pail’; allied to  cŷf (from kûbi-),  kîve, ‘cask.’ The stem is genuinely ; it is doubtful whether it is connected with the cognates (‘narrow space’) discussed under. Its origin at all events must be rejected. — ModLat. cupella, cupellus, ‘mensura frumentaria’ and ‘vas potorium,’ do not coincide in meaning; kuip, ‘vat, cask,’ is alone connected with  cûpa, ‘cask.’ Some  words, such as  cubel, ‘tub,’ are derived from the  cognates, from which  and  words are borrowed;  kùbilas, ‘tub,’  kŭbĭlŭ, ‘vessel,’ as a corn measure. ,, and. <section end="Kübel" /> <section begin="Küche" /> ,, ‘kitchen,’ from the  küche, küchen, kuchîn ( without mutation kuche, kuchi),  chúhhī̆na, ; corresponding to  cyčene, ,  kitchen,  keuken. An old West word, probably not derived immediately from late  coquîna, ‘kitchen,’ but rather from a common  and  cûcina (kukī̆na;   cucina,  cuisine). The ch ( hh) for c, k, in consequence of the  permutation points to the adoption of the term about the 6th, at which period the South  arts of cookery and horticulture were introduced into Germany;  , , , , and. <section end="Küche" />
