Etymology

[edit]

Etymology unclear.[1] The linking particle suggests common development with the names for weekdays, compare e premte (Friday). It could be a suffixed form of krye (head; beginning)[2] or, according to Topalli, inherited from Proto-Indo-European *kerm- (to sleep, to rest); compare Old High German hirmen (to rest, to pause) and Lithuanian kirmiti (to sleep).[3]
