Alongside external Indo-European material (Skt. kravíṣ- n. ‘raw, bloody meat’, Gk. κρέας n., Gsg κρέως ‘meat’, Lat. cruor m., Gsg cruōris ‘blood’), internal Slavic material, especially Slovenian (standard and dialect), leads to the conclusion that the Proto-Slavic noun for ‘blood’ *kry, Gsg *krъve was originally a neuter s-stem noun.
