kaķene murrā skaļi un omulīgi
guļ nobarojies runcis, aizmirsis ķert peles un žurkas, bet tikai slinki murrā
kā kaķis maigi murrājot, jūra skalo viļņus pret smilšu sēri
Etimoloji
From Middle Welsh crwth, from Proto-Brythonic *kruθ, from Proto-Celtic *kruttos (“round thing”), perhaps related to Latvian krūtis (“breast, bust”), from Proto-Indo-European *krū̆t; but it could instead be loaned from a non-Indo-European substrate. Possibly related to Proto-Celtic *krundis (“round”). Compare Old Irish crott (“harp, lute”).
