/kreɪk/

Forms: Also Scottish craik.

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from early Scandinavian. Etymon: Norse krâka.

Etymology: In sense 1, apparently < Old Norse krâka < crow, krâkr masculine, raven (Norwegian kraake , Swedish kråka , Danish krage , crow); compare also German dialect krâke , kracke , krack in same sense: see Grimm. Of echoic origin: compare croak n. In sense 2, perhaps originally the same word (corn crake = corn crow), but now viewed as directly derived from the grating cry of the bird, as in sense 3: compare the Greek κρέξ, κρεκ- as name of some croaking fowl.

1. A crow or raven. northern dialect.

Forms: Also Middle English– Scottish craik.

Etymology: If croak v. goes back to an Old English *crácian (of which the recorded crǽcetian would be diminutive), crake may be the northern form, as in oak, ake, etc.; compare Low German krâken in Grimm. But croak is of late appearance, and both it and crake may be of echoic origin.

1. intransitive. To utter a harsh grating cry: said of the crow, quail, corncrake, etc.The first quot. may belong to crake v.², crack v.
