Welsh[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Middle Welsh creuyð, from Proto-Brythonic *krọvɨð (with vowel altered after unrelated credu), from Proto-Celtic *krābiyos (“devotion, religious practice”), of unknown origin (compare Old Irish crábud from the variant *krābitus). Pokorny compares Sanskrit श्रम्भते (śrambhate, “to trust”) and constructs a Proto-Indo-European *ḱrebʰ- (“to trust”), but Matasovic calls this "formally extremely difficult" due to the lengthened grade in Celtic.
Pronunciation[edit]
- (North Wales) IPA(key): /ˈkrɛvɨ̞ð/
- (South Wales) IPA(key): /ˈkreːvɪð/, /ˈkrɛvɪð/
Audio: (file) - Rhymes: -ɛvɨ̞ð
