1. plural of kruk

Danish

Etymology

From Middle Low German kruke or Old English crocca, from Proto-Germanic *krogu (“pot, pitcher”), of uncertain origin. Possibly from a Proto-Indo-European root shared with Old Armenian կարաս (karas, “pitcher, large jar”), Ancient Greek κρωσσός (krōssós, “pitcher”), Irish crog (“earthen vessel”), but the phonetics are problematic. Also compare Old Irish croiccenn (“skin”).
