грив
Bulgarian
Etymology
According to Georgiev (BER), of Thracian origin ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *g⁽ʷ⁾ʰreh₁wos (the shift Thr. *-ē- > Bulg. -и- is also reflected in Bulgarian Пловдив (Plovdiv) from an earlier Pulpudēva), cognate with Proto-Germanic *grēwaz, Latin rāvus. Also inherited in dialectal Romanian griv (“variegated”), dialectal Greek γρίβος (grívos, “pale gray”).
