Proto-Celtic
Etymology
Old Norse lurkr (“club”) (source of Swedish lurk (“lout, boor”)) is related, but it could be a borrowing from Celtic. If so, the Celtic is without Indo-European cognates, and could be ultimately borrowed from a non-Indo-European substrate.
Pokorny, however, derives both from Proto-Indo-European *lorgā- (“club, stick”), also comparing regional German Lorg, Lork (“mythical giant”)[1]
Noun
*lorgā f[2]
- club, stick
