Etymology
Probably from *kъrčiti + *-ьma, from *kъrčь / *kъrča.
Noun

- rural tavern, inn, pub
Declension
* -asъ is the expected Balto-Slavic form but is found only in some Old Czech documents; -axъ is found everywhere else and is formed by analogy with other locative plurals in -xъ.
** The second form occurs in languages that contract early across /j/ (e.g. Czech), while the first form occurs in languages that do not (e.g. Russian).
