Etymology
From Proto-Mordvinic *kərga, whence also Moksha крга (krga). Likely borrowed from Proto-Slavic *kъrkъ (“neck”) or less likely from a descendant of Proto-Indo-European *gʷerh₃- (“to swallow, devour”).
A connection with Proto-Finnic *kurkku (“throat”) has also been proposed, but considered doubtful.
