From Proto-Balto-Slavic *śórˀkaˀ; compare Proto-Slavic *s(v)orka, Old Prussian sarke (“magpie”).[1] When compared with Ancient Greek κόραξ (kórax, “raven”) a Proto-Indo-European form *ḱor-h̥₂k- can be reconstructed, however they may well be independent formations.[2] In any case, both forms ultimately go back to Proto-Indo-European *ḱor- (“crow, raven”), whence also, with various suffixes, Ancient Greek κορώνη (korṓnē, “crow”); Latin cornīx (“crow”) and corvus (“raven”).
