Proto-Slavic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
According to Pokorny, from Proto-Indo-European *grēb(ʰ)o-s, from the zero grade of *gerbʰ- (“to carve, dig out”).[1]
Juxtapose Lithuanian skroblas, Latvian skābardis. Further compare Latvian Gruõbin̨a, Ancient Greek γράβιον (grábion, “torch”). Some authors argue for a non-Indo-European origin.
