Etymology

Unknown. The etymology determination is complicated by the fact that the word is both in sense and form similar with Ancient Greek καλύπτω (kalúptō), thus indicating possible (bi-directional) analogical influence.

Although the word often compared with semantically close Proto-Balto-Slavic *kr(o)uʔ-, e. g. Russian крыть (krytʹ), de Vaan notes that Balto-Slavic evidence demands a laryngeal while Greek excludes it.

Beekes suggested possible Lua error in Module:parameters at line 95: Parameter 1 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF. origin due to lack of Indo-European etymology, but acknowledged that the variation in labial (which he usually considered to be an argument for substrate origin) may be due to aforementioned analogy.
