Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Unknown, possibly akin to Latin crībrum (“sieve, riddle”), Proto-Germanic *hrīdrǭ (“riddle”), Proto-Celtic *kreitros (“sieve”) (whence Old Irish críathar, Old Welsh cruitr), from Proto-Indo-European *krey- (“to sift, to separate”) + *-da.
Noun
*krida f[1]
- sieve, sifter
- Synonyms: *sito, *cědъ
Inflection
Declension of
*krida (hard a-stem, accent paradigm a)
* -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).
