Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: As the designations of hair differ from language to language (s. Buck Synonyms 203f., Ernout-Meillet s. capillus), we do not expect a cognate in other languages. So the comparison with MIr. gairb-driuch `bristle' (from garb `raw' and *drigu- or *driku-, Fick 2, 156) can better be disregarded. On Lith. drikà `threads hanging from the weaving-loom' s. Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. draĩkas `long-drawn'.
