# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Bake

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Bake. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Bake, feminine, ‘a mark at the entrance of a harbour as a warning against shallows, buoy’; from Frisian like other technical terms relating to the sea, Frisian bâken (compare Back), whence Low German bâke, Dutch baak. It is based upon Gothic *baukn, neuter, which by a regular change became beácen, ‘beacon,’ in Anglo-Saxon; compare English beacon and beckon. Old High German bouhhan, Middle High German bouchen, Old Low German bôcan, ‘beacon, model,’ are corresponding terms. Thus the Old Teutonic word meant generally ‘sign.’ Bake has been restricted to a definite caution signal.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Krücke

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Krücke. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Krücke, feminine, ‘crutch,’ from the equivalent Middle High German krücke, krucke, Old High German chruccha (for *krukjô), feminine; compare Dutch kruk, Anglo-Saxon cryčč, feminine English crutch. Certainly a genuine Teutonic word (‘staff with a curved handle’); it is most closely connected with Scandinavian krókr, ‘hook, curve’; it may also be related to kriechen. In the Middle High German period it was confused with a Romance term based upon Latin crucea, and meaning ‘crosier.’ On the other hand, the Teutonic word was submerged in many of the Romance languages in the old inherited term; Italian croccia, ‘crutch,’ crocco, ‘hook,’ French crosse, ‘crook,’ croc, ‘hook’; Middle Latin croca, ‘baculus episcopalis,’ crocea, ‘baculus pastoralis’ and ‘baculus incurvus,’ croceus, croccia, crucia, crucca, ‘crutch,’ Krücke can scarcely be explained from Middle Latin crucea, ‘cross-bar’ (of a window), because this must have become chruzza (ce changed to tz); compare Kreuz.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Kuchen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Kuchen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Kuchen, masculine, ‘cake,’ from the equivalent Middle High German kuoche, Old High German chuohho, masculine; compare Middle Low German kôke, Dutch koek. Besides these forms with old ô in the stem (compare Anglo-Saxon cœ́čil, Middle English kêchel, ‘little cake,’ English dialectic keech) there occurs in the Scandinavian and English languages an apparently graded form with a — English cake, and the equivalent Scandinavian kaka, feminine. This gradation seems to point to a Teutonic origin of the cognates, yet their relation to the Romance class (Catal. coca, Rheto-Romance cocca, Picard. couque, ‘cake’), connected with Latin coquus, coquere (Anglo-Saxon côc, Old High German chohhôn), is not clear. Moreover, on the assumption that the word was borrowed, ô in Old High German chuohho would correspond exactly to the ô in Anglo-Saxon côc, ‘cook.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Krämpel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Krämpel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Krämpel, feminine, ‘carling-comb,’ borrowed from Low German, but it occurs even in the Middle High German period; diminutive of Krampe, ‘hook.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Krämpe

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Krämpe. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Krämpe, feminine, ‘brim of a hat,’ Modern High German only, from Low German krempe, allied to the Old High German adjective chrampf, ‘curved’ (Old Icelandic krappr, ‘close, narrow’); Old High German chrampf, quoted under Krampe, combines the meanings ‘hook’ and ‘border, brim.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Kräppel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Kräppel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Kräppel, Kräpfel, diminutive of Krapfen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Kröte

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Kröte. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Kröte, feminine, from the equivalent Middle High German krote, kröte, krëte, feminine (even now dialectic Krote, Krotte), Old High German chrota, chrëta, feminine, ‘toad.’ The forms with ë and o are related by gradation; compare Brett and Bord. The word is peculiar to German; in Old Icelandic padda, Dutch padde, Anglo-Saxon tâdie, English toad. Etymologically all three are equally obscure.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Krüppel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Krüppel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Krüppel, masculine, ‘cripple,’ from the equivalent Middle High German krüppel, krüpel, masculine; it passed in the Middle High German period from Low German into High German; Dutch kreupel, English cripple, Middle English and Anglo-Saxon cryppel, Scandinavian kryppell, kryplingr. The p of these forms is High German pf (Alsatian Krüpfel), hence we must assume that High German Krüppel was borrowed from Low German and Middle German. Allied in the Upper German dialects to Swiss chrüft, chrüpfe, Suabian kropf, kruft, krüftle, Bavarian krapf, kropf, ‘deformed person,’ and the cognate Bavarian krüpfen, ‘to become crooked,’ akin to Old Icelandic kroppr, kryppa, ‘hump,’ and the cognates discussed under Kropf. Besides Greek γρυπός, ‘curved,’ we may also refer to Old Slovenian grŭbŭ, ‘back,’ ModSlov. grbanec, ‘wrinkle,’ Servian grba, ‘hump’ (grbati se, ‘to stoop’).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Krähe

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Krähe. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Krähe, feminine, ‘crow,’ from the equivalent Middle High German krœ̂e (rare), feminine (usually krâ and krâwe, feminine), Old High German chrâia, chrâwa, and chrâ, feminine; compare Dutch kraai, Old Saxon krâia, feminine, Anglo-Saxon crâwe, feminine, English crow; a West Teutonic word allied to krähen, which was originally a strong verb. The Scandinavian term kráka, feminine, ‘crow,’ cannot be immediately connected with the cognates adduced; it is only very remotely allied.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Krätze

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Krätze. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Krätze (1.), feminine, ‘dosser,’ from Middle High German kręzze, also kratte, masculine, ‘basket’; Old High German chręzzo and chratto, masculine, ‘basket.’ Perhaps the word is allied, on account of the MidHigh German variant krenze, with Kranz. On the other hand, Old High German chratto and Middle High German kratte suggest Anglo-Saxon cradol, English cradle, and also Dutch krat, Anglo-Saxon crœt, English cart (originally ‘cart-basket’?), English crate. With Greek κάρταλλος, ‘basket,’ these cognates cannot be connected.
Krätze (2.), feminine, ‘itch,’ from Middle High German kretz, kratz, allied to kratzen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Kräusel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Kräusel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Kräusel, masculine, ‘top,’ with the more frequent variant Kreisel, a corrupt form which arose from connecting Kräusel with the circular (kreisförmig) movement of a top; Middle High German *kriusel, Middle German krûsel, masculine, ‘top,’ a diminutive of Krause, hence literally ‘small pitcher.’ Compare the Upper German term Topf for ‘top.’

# American Medical Biographies/Beardsley, Hezekiah

​Beardsley, Hezekiah (1748–1790)
The first to describe congenital hypertrophic stenosis of the pylorus in infants, Hezekiah Beardsley deserves a short note, although the known facts of his life are scanty. He was born in Stratford, Connecticut, in 1748, and became a druggist and physician, and practised in Southington, Connecticut, as early as 1778, so far as health would permit. Two years later he appears to have removed to Hartford. An advertisement of his firm, "Beardsley and Hopkins," is to be found in the Connecticut Courant for June 26, 1781. In it we learn his drug store was situated "a few rods east of the Court House." In 1782 he removed to New Haven, where he had a similar store on Chapel street, between Church and Orange streets. At the time of his death, in 1790, from consumption, he had taken his brother-in-law into partnership with him.
He was one of the original members of the New Haven County Medical Association, and served on the committees of correspondence and examination. In April, 1788, he reported a case of "scirrhus in the pylorus of an infant," which was the first case on record of congenital hypertrophy of the pylorus in an infant. It was printed with the papers of the society, which appeared in their transactions entitled: "Cases and Observations." In this paper Beardsley noted practically every feature of the disease we now know. He had attended the patient for three years at Southington, and when her death, at the age of five years, "closed the painful melancholy scene" he performed the autopsy. He speaks of the "constant puking," which was first noted during the first week of life. Everything in the shape of food, the child took was almost instantaneously rejected and very little changed. The feces were small in quantity. He comments upon the leanness and wizened old look of the child, and states he had "pronounced a scirrhosity in the pylorus months before the child's death," although he first attributed the condition to a deficiency of bile and gastric juices joined with a morbid relaxation of the stomach. Unfortunately, Beardsley did not know of the child's death "until the second day after it took place. This late period, the almost intolerable stench, and the impatience of the people who had collected for the funeral, prevented so thorough an examination of the body as might otherwise have been made." At the autopsy Beardsley noted that the stomach was unusually large and distended. "The pylorus was invested with a hard compact substance or scirrhosity, which so completely obstructed the passage into the duodenum as to admit with the greatest difficulty the finest fluid."
