Etymology

[edit]

Fraenkel notes the similarity to Proto-Germanic *hrepaz (Old Norse hrip (box or basket), Old High German ref, German Reff (a wooden frame used to carry something)), which may be cognate.

Dialectal kar̃bas, Proto-Slavic *korbъ < (?) Proto-West Germanic *korb < (?) Latin corbis may be from the same PIE root, but with an o-grade ablaut.
