The earlier and more often attestations of <b class="b3">κροτέω</b> compared with <b class="b3">κρότος</b> speak for the priority of the verb. - The only usable comparison gives a German. verb with inner (orig. only presential?) nasalising, OE [[hrindan]], [[hrand]], OWNo. [[hrinda]], [[hratt]] [[push]] (IE <b class="b2">*kre-n-t-</b>? Pok. 621); the analysis rests only on the comparison with <b class="b3">κροτ-</b>, and must prob. be rejected. - Wrong connections in Bq s. v.
