To [[κρύπτω]] reminds formally and semantically [[καλύπτω]] (s. v.); the verbs may have influenced one another. On the variation [[π]] : [[φ]] : [[β]], which can also be analogical, cf. Schwyzer 333, 705 n. 2, 737.<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: But for the final labial and the vowelquantity [[κρύπτω]] agrees with Slav., e.g. OCS [[kryjo]], [[kryti]] [[κρύπτω]], [[ἀποκρύπτω]]' (Persson Stud. 51 n. 1, Meillet MSL 8, 297), which is connected with Balt., e.g. Lith. <b class="b2">kráuju</b>, <b class="b2">kráuti</b> [[pile up]]; on the meaning Schulze KZ 50, 275 (Kl. Schr. 621 f.). Doubtful because of the vowel is the comparison with a Balt. word for [[deceive]], [[delude]], Lith. <b class="b2">króp(i)u</b>, <b class="b2">krópti</b>, Latv. [[krapt]]. Further Pok. 616f., Fraenkel Wb. s. <b class="b2">kráuti</b> and <b class="b2">krópti</b> 2. Vasmer Wb. s. [[krytь]]. - As there is no good IE etym. the word may be Pre-Greek, what seems confirmed by the frequent variation of the labial.
