(deprecated template usage)

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Balto-Slavic *śórˀkaˀ; compare Proto-Slavic *s(v)orka, Old Prussian sarke (magpie).[1] When compared with Ancient Greek κόραξ (kórax, raven) a (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European form *ḱor-h̥₂k- can be reconstructed, however they may well be independent formations.[2] In any case, both forms ultimately go back to Proto-Indo-European *ḱor- (crow, raven), whence also, with various suffixes, Ancient Greek κορώνη (korṓnē, crow); Latin cornīx (crow) and corvus (raven).
