כ־ר־ז

Hebrew

Etymology

From Aramaic ⁧כְּרַז⁩ / ⁧ܟܪܰܙ⁩ (kraz, “to preach”), from Ancient Greek κηρύσσειν (kērússein, “to preach”).[1][2] Cf. Daniel 3:4[1][2] and 5:29.[2]

Alternatively, instead of Ancient Greek, it is also suggested it might be borrowed from Old Persian.[2][3]

Compare Ge'ez ከረዘ (käräzä) and Arabic ⁧كَرَزَ⁩ (karaza).
