CRUOR

Latin "cruor", Slavic "krev", Welsh "creu", Lithuanian "kraujas". All those words mean "blood".

Indo-European word connected to this topic denoted something "raw, bloody, uncooked" or "meaty".

Sanskrit words "रौधिर (raudhira)" = "bloody" and "रुधिर (rudhira)" = "blood-red" are connected to the Indo-European color RED just like Lithuanian "raudonas" or Slavic "rudy".

If we swap H with K in Old English "hrǣw" we get "krǣw" very similar to Welsh "crau (krau)".

Old English, Old Saxon, Old High German and Old Norse all kept the initial H which was dropped in the descendant languages. That initial H came most probably from K.
