Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Equivalent to the 0-grade of *xribъ (“hill”) +‎ *-ьtъ, likely from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kreybʰ- (“to scrape, to tear”). Akin to Lithuanian skriẽbti (“to rub, to scrub”), Proto-Germanic *hrībaną (“to scratch”), Proto-Italic *skreiβō (“to scribe”).

ESSJa draws comparison with Proto-Slavic *skrebti (“to scrape”) (from Proto-Indo-European *skreb-), suggesting that Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value) and its cognates represent expressive enlargement ("экспрессивное преобразование" in Trubachyev's own words) of the former root.
