Croh

/kroʊ/ noun

Definition

An obsolete or archaic spelling variant of 'crow' (the bird), or possibly a dialectal term.

Etymology

Likely a variant spelling of crow, with roots in Old English 'crawe' or related Germanic words. The spelling reflects historical variations before English orthography was standardized.

Kelly Says

Medieval and early modern documents show dozens of spelling variations for common animals—scribes would spell the same word differently on the same page, so 'croh' tells us about how fluid language was before dictionaries standardized everything.
