Etymology: Old inherited, in Greek isolated aorist. Closest to the Greek form comes the OIr. subj. ni-cria emat (IE *kʷrii̯āt); remarkably Greek does not have the both in Sanskrit and Celt. and in Slav. wellknown nasalpresent, Skt. krīṇā́ti (for older *kriṇā́ti), OIr. crenim, ORuss. krьnuti buy. A corresponding Gr. *πρίνημι had become awkward because of the resembling opposite πέρνημι, Aeol. πορνάμεν sell (Meillet BSL 26, 14). The vbaladj. ἀ-πρία-τος can be identified with Skt. krītá- bought (ια < ih₂e = Skt. ī < ih₂; Schwyzer 363 w. lit. and 743, where also on the other forms). -- To the further numerous, in the separate languages appearing derivations, e.g. Skt. krayá- m. purchase(price) < *kʷroih₂-o-, OIr. crīth payment, purchase, OLith. krienas price, Toch. B karyor, A kuryar purchase, trade, Greek has no correspondence. -- Further forms w. rich lit. in WP. 1, 523 f., Pok. 648 and in the relevant dictionaries.
