Etymology: Orig. prob. a term of weaving, κρέκω was also transferred to playing stringed instruments. The present κρέκω is isolated; Germanic has several nouns, that point to such a primary verb: OWNo. hræll m. (\< PGm. *hráhilaz; would be Gr. *κρόκιλος) `staff to fasten the cloth', OE hrēol (\< PGm. *hréhulaz) `reel', NEngl. reel; with grammatical change OE hrægl n. `cloth, garment', OHG hregil n. `indument, spolium'. Also several Balto-Slavic words have been compared: Lith. krẽkles `zerlumpte Kleider, tatters', Latv. krękls `shirt'; Slavic expressions for `strike fire etc.', e. g. Russ. krešú, kresítь; words for `weaving chair(?)', e.g. Russ. krosno; all uncertain or to be rejected, cf. Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. and Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. vv.
