Где?
Ionic word for "lizard" (common being σαύρα (saúra)), perhaps from κρόκη (krókē, “pebbles”) + δρῖλος (drîlos, “worm”), because crocodiles like resting on flat stones. Typologically compare Sanskrit कृकलास (kṛkalāsa, “lizard, chameleon”), said to be composed of the words for "pebble" and "sit".
ААа ok
Possibly from a Proto-Indo-European *ḱorkeh₂, and related to Sanskrit शर्कर (śarkara, “pebble, gravel; later, sugar”) (whence also शर्करा (śarkarā)) or कृशन (kṛśana, “pearl”), though Beekes is doubtful.[3]
