That <b class="b3">κράδη</b> and <b class="b3">κράδος</b> with <b class="b3">κραδάω</b> (to which <b class="b3">κραδαίνω</b> as enlargement) belong together, seems certain; their relation however can be interpreted in different ways. Prob. <b class="b3">κραδάω</b> is a denomin., whereby for <b class="b3">κράδη</b> an original meaning <b class="b2">the swinging</b> can be assumed, what agrees well with the meanings <b class="b2">crown (of a tree)</b>' and `<b class="b2">suspension-machine</b> (Fraenkel Denom. 19f.). Or <b class="b3">κραδάω</b> is as zero grade iterative derived from a lost primary verb (cf. Schwyzer 719 Mom. 4, Leumann Lat. Gramm.317c) to which <b class="b3">κράδη</b>, <b class="b3">-ος</b> is a backformation. Diff. (hardly correct) Schwyzer 682 and Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 356: <b class="b3">κραδάω</b> old (orig. athematic) root present. - [Hardly here <b class="b3">κόρδαξ</b>, a dance.] Hypothetical combinations in W.-Hofmann s. [[cardō]] , Pok. 934; s. also Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. <b class="b2">(pa)-kìrsti</b>. - A very old root noun to <b class="b3">κραδάω</b> is supposed by SchulzeKZ 57, 75 = Kl. Schr. 217 in the IE word for [[heart]], Gr. <b class="b3">κῆρ</b>.
