Tocharian A
Etymology
From Proto-Tocharian *krāmär (whence also Tocharian B krāmär), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷréh₂-mr̥, from *gʷreh₂- (“heavy”). Only attested in the derived term krāmärts. Cognate with Latin gravis (whence English gravity), Sanskrit ग्रीष्म (grīṣma, “summer”), Ancient Greek βαρύς (barús) (whence English baro-), etc. Note that in the derived terms, the widespread semantic parallel of weight > difficulty is present (compare German schwer, Estonian raske, etc.)
Derived terms
