Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Cognate with Lithuanian kárka (“shank (part of leg)”). Per Trubachyov, cited by the Bulgarian Etymological Dictionary,[1] equivalent to Proto-Balto-Slavic *kar- (“to hang”) + *-kъ, i.e. originally "something hanging". From the Proto-Balto-Slavic root, Trubachyov also derives Lithuanian karti (“to hang”) and Latvian karcināt (“to wriggle, to twist”), among others. Pokorny derives it from Proto-Indo-European *kr(o)k-sko (“arm”), also comparing Sanskrit किष्कु (kiṣku, “forearm”).[2]
