    "[...] βραδύς may morphologically be identical with Lith. gurdùs, Latv. gur̃ds 'tired', reflecting *gʷrdú- [...]. Lat. gurdus 'dolt, heavy' can be connected as well [...]".

    PS *gŭrdŭ 'proud' may be cognate with Lithuanian gurdùs 'weak, slow, uncommunicative, stiff' and Latvian gur̃ds 'tired, weary', even though some irregular correspondence in stress. If the Slavic and Baltic words are related, they can be connected with Greek βραδύς 'slow, dull, sluggish' < PIE *gʷrdus.
  • Jocz, Lechosław:
    In spite of the general constistence of the literature regarding to the possible IE cognacy, the etymology of this lexeme and the PIE root it was derived from remain uncertain.
  • Snoj, Marko:
    PS *grъdъ is probably derived from PIE *gu̯r̥Hdu/o- 'heavy' (< PIE *gu̯erH- 'heavy'), cf. Lithuanian gurdùs, Latvian gur̃ds, less probably Greek βραδύς.
  • Trubačev, O. N.: 7: 207
    Further IE cognacy of PS *gŭrdŭ is problematic. It has been linked to Lithuanian gurdùs 'slow', Latvian gur̃ds 'tired' and Greek βραδύς 'slow' (< *gʷr̥dus). The coexistence of two distinct meanings 'proud, arch' and 'terrible, ugly' and the unclear further cognacy suggest an innovative and expressive nature of this lexeme.

    ?*gʷr̥d- 'slow, languid' > Greek βραδύς, Lithuanian gurdùs, Latvian gur̃das etc. The reconstruction of this root is uncertain, it can be also related to *gʷreh₂- 'heavy'. The relationship of Latin gurdus 'stupid' to ?*gʷr̥d- is dubious. According to Blažek's interpretation of Slavic *gŭrdŭ, South Slavic forms like Bulgarian g"rd / gr"d 'ugly, bad', Macedonian grd 'ugly', Slovene grd 'ugly' would belong here.

    Latin gurdus 'blockhead, dolt' is derived from PIE *gʷrd-o- and related to Greek βραδύς 'slow', Lithuanian gurdùs 'slow', Latvian gur̃ds 'tired', Old Church Slavonic *gŭrdŭ and Russian gordyj 'proud, haughty'.
