Re: work

Alex, can't you make it clear what you're talking about? What
word in what Slavic language are you talking about? Cz.
treba, "perhaps" perhaps? Your subject line suggests you may have
some t-initial form of the rab- group, with a well known etymology <
I.E. orbho (Pokorny 1427).
Pokorny also gives one nonGermanic reflex of dhreibh, in
Lithuanian.
