Proto-Slavic
Alternative reconstructions
- *skrebti (Trubačev)
Etymology
From earlier *skrebtì, of Proto-Balto-Slavic origin. Cognate with Latvian skrabt (“to scrape, to comb”), Lithuanian skrebė́ti (“to rasp (of noise)”).
Further origin apparently from Proto-Indo-European *skrebʰ-, probably related via schwebeablaut to *(s)kerbʰ- whence Proto-Slavic *ščьrbati (“to chip, to splinter”). Compare also Proto-Germanic *skrepaną (“to scrape”), *skrubbōną (“to scrub”).
Verb
*skretì impf[1]
- to scrape, to scrub
