Pers., Arist.); <b class="b3">ἀνακραδεύει σείει</b>, [[σαλεύει]] H.<br />Derivatives: [[κράδη]] f. `[[spray at the end of branches]], [[twig]], [[especially of figs]] (IA., Hes. Op. 681) with <b class="b3">ἀπο-κράδιος</b> [[plucked from a fig]] (AP), <b class="b3">ἀπο-κραδίζω</b> [[pluck from a fig]] (Nic.); also `[[diseased formation of small shoots in a tree]] with [[κραδάω]] [[have κράδη]] (Thphr.; cf.

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