Etymology[edit]
Borrowing from Middle Low German krûke, from Old Saxon krūka, from Proto-West Germanic *krūkā (“pot, pitcher”), of uncertain origin. Possibly from a Proto-Indo-European root shared with Old Armenian կարաս (karas, “pitcher, large jar”), Ancient Greek κρωσσός (krōssós, “pitcher”), but the phonetics are problematic. Also compare Old Irish croiccenn (“skin”).[1][2]
Compare German Kruke, Danish krukke and Icelandic krukka.

kruka c
