Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic (Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary Series 11) Guus Kroonen Brill 2013 *b drêbt to beat drė̃bti to strike

verb Strong class 5 to hit, strike Since Proto-Indo-European *b (> Proto-Germanic *p) is only rarely attested, Kroonen 2013 assumes that this verb is a back-formation from *druppōną, iterative of *drabaną (‘to hew’), from root *dʰrebʰ- (‘to grind; crush; kill’), elsewhere attested only in Balto-Slavic. Cognate with Lithuanian drė̃bti (‘to strike’), Latvian drêbt (‘to beat’).
