Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *(s)hβ‚‚Γ©αΈ±ru (β€œtear”), but there are several unresolved phonetic problems; in particular, the initial /(Ι¨)s/ and the second αΈ« in the root coda are unexpected. Kloekhorst assumes prothetic *s- and assimilation to the first αΈ« respectively, but is not fully convinced and notes that the latter is highly irregular.[1] Kortlandt assumes a compound *skΚ·-hβ‚‚αΈ±ru with simplification, with the first element from *sekΚ·- (β€œto see”) like in Hittite π’Š­π’€€π’†ͺπ’‰Ώ (Ε‘a-a-ku-wa, β€œeyes”), parallelling the compound *drΜ₯αΈ±-hβ‚‚eαΈ±ru- (β€œtear”, literally β€œeye-sharp/bitter”) (from *derαΈ±- (β€œto see; eye?”)) found in other branches.[2] In any case, cognates include Ancient Greek δάκρυ (dΓ‘kru), Sanskrit ΰ€…ΰ€Άΰ₯ΰ€°ΰ₯ (Γ‘Ε›ru), Gothic π„πŒ°πŒ²π‚ (tagr) and Old English tΔ“ar (English tear).
