This is what I was looking for, thank you Petr. The supposed
etymologies have all the problem of "ke" > "z^" or "z" >" z^" (sonor
"s" > consonantal "j" ) which appears to be unlike. It can be there is
no directly connection with Latin "crucem" but the meaning of the word
(UrSlavic or Loan from another language) was calqued later after the
meaning of the Latin word "crucem" in its sacral form.

Are there in Czech language or other Slavic Languages derivatives of
"kriz^I" where we still have the "z^" there? The kr^ivy' and krk
appearsto me to not be direct related to "kriz^I" .
