Proto-Brythonic

Etymology

From an underlying Proto-Celtic *korkiyos, perhaps onomatopoeic in origin. Frequently compared with Old Irish corr (heron) (< *korxsV?), but Schrijver reasons that this cannot produce the Brythonic form and argues that this may be a descriptive name arising within Goidelic.[1]

Noun

*körxɨð m

  1. heron
    Synonym: *krehɨr
