So far I remember we discussed about this topic and there is no result
of of it. The "traditionalists" will explain this word trough Latin
"creationem". Some other people try to trace it back to the tradition of
the mistletoe tree and the limb of it used in the feasts of the winter.
What appears interesting here is that the word for "limb" is in Rom.
"cracã" ( see Latin crucix Gothic "hrugga", PIE root unsure?).
