κόραξcorvusravenšárkamagpie
verbStrong class 7eto cry out, call, shoutOf unclear origin. The traditional connection with *hrōþiz (‘glory, fame’) is phonetically problematic due to the unknown function and origin of the suffix *-p-. That said, Kroonen appears to suggest the tentative possibility that the word is indeed from the same root as *hrōþiz, with the *-p- arising from analogical association with the semantically similar but unrelated Proto-Germanic *wōpijaną (‘to cry out, lament’).Other theories connect the word to Ancient Greek κόραξ (kórax), Latin corvus (‘raven’), Lithuanian šárka (‘magpie’) in the sense of "caw".
