Etymology

[edit]

From *ǵh₂r-, zero grade of Proto-Indo-European *ǵeh₂r- (to shout, call).

Cognate with Ancient Greek γῆρυς (gêrus, voice, speech), Khotanese [script needed] (ysār-, to sing), Latin garriō (chatter), Old English caru (sorrow).

Arguably related to Garmr and Sanskrit घर्घर (gharghara).
