Also consider (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Russian demotic нажраться (nažratʹsja, “to eat a lot; get drunk”). From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *gʷerh₃- (“to devour”). Cognates include Sanskrit गिरति (giráti, “devour”), Ancient Greek βιβρώσκω (bibrṓskō, “eat up”) and Latin vorō (“devour, swallow”).
