Proto-Germanic

Etymology

    Due to the *p, which otherwise points to a dubious Proto-Indo-European *b, Kroonen assumes that ultimately the Germanic verb is a back-formation from the iterative *drappōną of *drabaną (“to hew”), which would be from a root *dʰrebʰ- (“to grind; crush; kill”), elsewhere attested only in Balto-Slavic. Cognate with Lithuanian drė̃bti (“to strike”), Latvian drêbt (“to beat”).[1]
