κραυγή

Ancient Greek

Apparently from a Proto-Indo-European *kraw-g- (“to cry”) of imitative origin, similar to κράζω (krázō) and κρώζω (krṓzō). Compare Old Norse hraukr (“cormorant”), Old English ġehrūxl (“noise”), Gothic 𐌷𐍂𐌿𐌺 (hruk, “cry of the rooster”), Lithuanian kraũkti (“to screech”), Proto-Slavic *krukъ (“raven”), Sanskrit क्रोश॑ति (króśati, “to shriek”).^[1]
