Wurdahuzdą: Proto-Germanic dictionary

noun masculine an-stem pivot bar; pole hinge, doorhinge Of uncertain origin. Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kerd- (‘to move, sway, swing, jump’); in this case, cognate with Old High German scerdo (‘hinge’), Latin cardō (‘hinge’), Proto-Celtic *kerdeti (‘to put, move’), Ancient Greek κραδάω (kradáō, ‘to swing, shake’), and perhaps Sanskrit कूर्द् (kūrd, ‘to leap, jump, play’) and German scherzen (‘to joke, jest, frolic’). Orel instead derives the root from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kert-so and compares Lithuanian sker̃sas (‘across’), Proto-Slavic *čerzъ (‘through, across’), and Latin cardō. Kroonen prefers to derive the root from a Proto-Indo-European *kérH-on-, and compares Lithuanian kárti (‘to hang’), Proto-Germanic *hurdiz (‘wickerwork door, frame’), Latin crātis (‘wickerwork’).
