skrìedinâtto driveskri̇̀stito rush, run*(s)kreyt-
verbStrong class 1to walk, glide, crawlFrom Proto-Indo-European *(s)kreyt- (‘to stride’), which Kroonen assumes may be an extension of a root *(s)krey- (‘to go about’) shared with Baltic, the latter whose forms are extended as *(s)kreydʰ-; comparanda include Lithuanian skri̇̀sti (‘to rush, run’), skraidùs (‘fast’), skriẽti (‘to circle, fly in circles’), Latvian skrìedinât (‘to drive’), skrìet (‘to run, fly’). Whether the root *skrey- is related to *(s)ker- (‘to twist, turn, bend’) is uncertain.
