References
  • Bezlaj, France: 1: 172
    Most of authors assume here a reflex of PIE *ger 'bend, skew'.
  • Boryś, W.: 155
    Related to Old Prussian grabis (garbis) 'mountian', Middle Irish gerbach 'puckered' or Islandic korpa 'ruck, ruckle'. This is probably a reflex of PIE *ger- with an extention (*ger-b-) 'bend, skew, bundle'.
  • Georgiev, V. and Račeva, M. and Todorov, T. and Durdianov, I.: 287
    Related to Old Prussian garbis 'mountian' and Lithuanian gárbana 'curl'.
  • Jocz, Lechosław:
    This cognate class is not related to cognate/1196/, in spite of the superficial similarity. However, it is possible that irregular changes of the initial consonant in Polish, Polabian and Czech in cognate/1196/ etc. are due to a contamination of these two etymona. The irregularities can be explained also phonetically, though. There is no cetrain PIE etymology.
  • Rejzek, Jiří: 214
    It is sometimes linked to Old Prussian garbis 'mountian', Irish gerbach 'puckered' or Islandic korpa 'ruck, ruckle' that are reflexes of PIE *ger-b- 'bend'.
  • Skok, Petar: 610
    Reflex of PIE *ger- 'bend'. IE cognates are Old Prussian garbiš 'hill', Lithuanian gárbana 'curl', Irish gerbach 'puckered', Islandic korpa 'ruck, ruckle', and Armenian karth 'hook, angle'.
  • Smoczyński, Wojciech: 157, 211-210
    Lithuanian gárbana / garbanà 'curl' (along with gur̃bti 'grow well') does not have any certain IE cognates. A possible one is PS *gŭrb-.
  • Snoj, Marko:
    Related to Old Prussian garbis 'mountian', Lithuanian gárbana 'curl', Old Irish gerbach 'puckered', Islandic korpa 'ruck, ruckle', Armenian karth 'hook, angle' which all go back to PIE *ger(H)-b- 'bend, skew'.
  • Trubačev, O. N.: 199-201
    Probably an expressive formation without any reliable IE cognates. Some existing hypotheses (linking this lexeme to Irish gerbach 'puckered' or Islandic korpa 'ruck, ruckle') are problematic phonetically and semantically. The Old Prussian garbis 'mountian' is most probably a loanword from Polish.
  • Vasmer, Max: 439
    Related to Old Prussian garbis 'hill', Lithuanian gárbana, gárbina 'curl', Irish gerbach 'puckered', Islandic korpa 'ruck, ruckle', and Armenian kart' 'hook, angle'.

    An expressive PS word without reliable IE cognates.
