γράβιονtorch, brand*grep-a hook, force
verbWeak class 1to demandRelated to *kraftuz (‘force, strength’), of unknown origin. Possibly related to Umbrian Grabovio, *Grabo-, an Italic god of rocks and oak trees described in the Iguvine Tablets (see Ancient Greek γράβιον (grábion, ‘torch, brand’)). Pokorny suggests a connection to Albanian kërrabë and Proto-West Germanic *krappō (‘hook’), from Proto-Indo-European *grep- (‘a hook, force’), extended form of *ger- (‘to turn, wind’).
