Etymology doubtful : according to Curtius, from rt. gar, to cry. 

 Cf. Lith. gamy, Bret, gar an, O. H. G. chranu/i, Germ. Kranich, Kran,

The Crane. Ardea grus, L., Grus cinereus, auctt. Mod. Gk. 

 yepavos, yepdv (Heldr.). The Crane is in Greece a bird of pas- 

 sage only, chiefly seen on its journey northward in the spring 

 (cf. Strab. i. 2. 28): it breeds further north, in Macedonia (hence 

 grues Strymoniae, Virgil, Seneca, Martial, Claudian, &c. ; s. Bis- 

 toniae, Antip. Sidon. cv, Lucan, &c.) and on the Danube (Kriiper, 

 p. 267). In Horn, yepapos doubtless includes the Stork also, the 

 latter bird not being mentioned, though equally common in the 

 Troad (Schliemann, Ilios, p. 113).
