Proto-Slavic
Etymology
- Per Derksen, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *grāˀb-, from Proto-Indo-European *gʰreb; meanings "to rake" in daughter languages from confusion with the root *gʰrebʰ- (see Proto-Slavic *gretì (“to dig, to rake, to scrape”)). Baltic cognates include Lithuanian gróbti (“to seize”), Latvian grâbt (“to seize”). Indo-European cognates include Old Norse grápa (“to seize”). The same confusion appears to have happened elsewhere; compare Sanskrit गृह्णाति (gṛhṇā́ti), गृभ्णाति (gṛbhṇā́ti, “to seize, to hold, to take”). Avestan: grab- ‘to grab, seize, take’, Old Persian: grab- ‘to seize (as possesion), Persian: گیر/گرفت gir/gereft, (*pati-) پذیرفتن paziroftan.[1] English grab vs. Gothic 𐌲𐍂𐌰𐌱𐌰𐌽 (graban, “to dig”), all of which come from *gʰrebʰ-. Derksen does not derive this verb from *gʰrebʰ- due to Winter's law, which is required to produce the acute *-a- of the Slavic root but would not operate in *gʰrebʰ-.
- Per Vasmer, Chernykh and Trubachev, this verb in fact derives from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrebʰ-; see also Proto-Slavic *gretì. Chernykh describes it as the causative of *gretì.
- Per Rix (LIV), probably from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrebh₂-, which allows for Winter's law and also accounts for the Sanskrit -(b)h- (but still doesn't account for the Germanic forms, which are supposed to derive from a different root *gʰrebʰ-).
