Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *śárˀkāˀ.[1] When compared with Ancient Greek κόραξ (kórax, raven) a Proto-Indo-European form *ḱor-h₂k- can be reconstructed, however they may well be independent formations.[2] In any case, both forms ultimately go back to Proto-Indo-European *ḱer- (crow, raven), whence also, with various suffixes, Ancient Greek κορώνη (korṓnē, crow); Latin cornīx (crow) and corvus (raven).
